Copper Hoards

Copper Hoards are collections of ancient copper artifacts discovered mainly in northern India and Pakistan, dating back to around 2000-1500 BCE. These hoards include carved objects like awls, needles, and tools, indicating early metalworking and craftsmanship. They are significant because they reflect an advanced understanding of metallurgy and suggest trade or cultural exchanges during the Bronze Age. Their discovery sheds light on the technological and social developments of early societies in South Asia. Overall, Copper Hoards provide valuable insights into prehistoric metallurgy and cultural practices in the region.
