In view of the fact that silver artifacts from the Mature-and Post-Harappan sites as well as Taxila contained lead and trace of sulphur, it may be surmised that the source was argentiferous galena ore. A few samples of silver in the Harappan sites and the silver plates of Gungeria, showing some gold but no lead, were probably derived from the South Indian electrum deposits.
