Archaeological evidence suggests that there were a number of prosperous towns flourishing in Rajasthan during the Historical Period (400 BC-AD 400) close to the copper mining areas. Some of the important ones among them include Nagari near Chittorgarh, Nagar near Tonk, Pushkar near Ajmer, Bairat, Rairh and Sambhar near Jaipur. Nineteen ancient mine sites in Rajasthan, unfortunately undated, are listed in Table 17.2.
