The Copper Age in India is also known as the _____ culture.
Chalcolithic Age
The Copper Age in India is also referred to as the Chalcolithic Age, a term derived from the Greek words for copper and stone, since communities of this period used both copper tools and stone tools together.
Chalcolithic cultures in India (such as Ahar, Malwa, and Jorwe) generally postdate the Neolithic and precede large-scale Iron Age settlements, and are marked by early metallurgy alongside continued stone tool use.
The Iron Age is a later period defined by iron tools, while the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Ages predate the use of any metal and are defined purely by stone tool technology.
Therefore, the correct answer is the Chalcolithic Age.
