v1.c13.s1.1

Mound II at Chanhu-Daro yielded a large quantity of tools and implements, both of copper and bronze. Altogether four large hoards, containing from sixteen to twenty-eight objects each, were unearthed and in addition to these, a number of smaller deposits of over six objects each were also discovered. As no analysis of them have yet been made, it is not possible to say how many of these objects are of bronze and how many of copper. Bronze was however almost as common as copper in the lowest levels of Mohenjo-Daro and there is every reason to believe that at Chanhu-Daro the same proportions will hold good. (MCK, 174)
