History of Technology in India, Vol. I: From Antiquity to c. 1200 A.D. v1.c11.s3.3

v1.c11.s3.3

It is difficult, however, to believe in the association of the Copper Hoard implements with the pottery at Saipai, and, with its spouted, handled and black-painted vessels and chert blades, Saipai appears to be quite unique. Moreover, the Copper Hoard artifacts have generally been found in caches rather than individually, so that the occurrence of only stray tools at Saipai raises doubts. I therefore feel that at present the association of the OCP and the Copper Hoard should be treated only as provisional.
