Harappan Items and Their Sources

This section matches items found at Harappan sites (List-I) with their probable geographical origins (List-II).

  • Copper (a): Primarily sourced from Rajasthan (ii). The Khetri copper mines in Rajasthan were a significant source for the Harappans.
  • Shell (b): Obtained from coastal regions, notably Kutch (iii) in present-day Gujarat, which provided ample marine shells.
  • Lapis Lazuli (c): This precious stone was imported mainly from Afghanistan (iv), specifically the mines in Badakhshan.
  • Gold (d): While sources varied, evidence suggests gold was obtained from regions like the Deccan (i) (South India).

Therefore, the correct matching is a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
