Apart from the Mehrgarh area in Baluchistan which had substantial reserves of copper ore, Ganeshwar area in Rajasthan exhibited pre-Harappan traditions in copper smelting practices which have been discussed in chapter 2. Asthana has rightly concluded (1985) that “the Indus civilization was conceived locally in the courtyard of one or more of the Pre-Harappan cultures”. This remark is applicable to the Harappan art of copper-smelting as well.
