In two specimens of Lothal, silver was found considerably contaminated with copper: 54.65 per cent of silver and 2.67 per cent of copper and 86.57 per cent of silver and 7.87 per cent of copper respectively, the former specimen containing 3.29 per cent of iron in addition. Apart from contamination with iron and admixture with copper, these two silver objects have been found to be free from lead and only one of them contains traces of nickel. (Rao, 655)
