It is only from the full-fledged Copper-Bronze [4.7] and Chalcolithic [4.14] ages that the data in respect of beads become abundant and varied. All phases of the Harappa culture [4.9,10] and several regional Chalcolithic cultures [4.14] evidenced in Rajasthan, c. India, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra-Karnataka have proved to be rich in beads though the Harappa is the richest, both in number and variety.
