There are schist and quartz outcrops, which the Aharians used in house building, and copper ores for their tools. It is curious that at Ahar only copper was used and no stone blades, while the Banas culture had a developed blade industry at Gilund, a mere 80km away, and also at Kayatha in Madhya Pradesh. Even copper, however, is not abundant, as only five axes, one knife blade, one sheet, a bangle, and two rings have been reported from Ahar.
