In courc of the excavations, it was amply evident that the Indus people were familiar with gold, silver, copper, tin and lead. The metals may have been mined within the confines of India itself where all of them including even tin are obtainable, or they may have been imported from the neighbouring countries to the north and west viz. Persia, Afghanistan, Arabia or from western Tibet. (MS-I, 29)
