In the long past a race of ancient people mined and smelted copper ores in the copper belt of Singhbhum some 2000 years ago (Dunn, 1937) which was the centre of industry and of comparatively high civilization. Names of localities like *Tama Pāhār* near *Rākhā* mines, and village called *Tamajuri* (specks of copper) point to ancient copper industry.
