The 1976–1977 Discovery of the Ganeshwar-Jodhpura Copper Complex

Record summary

Survey and excavation work associated with Ganeshwar-Jodhpura identified copper-working settlements and distinctive material assemblages in northeastern Rajasthan. The complex is relevant to comparisons of metallurgy, resource movement, and links with Mature Harappan communities. Some interpretations have connected its copper objects with wider Indus exchange systems, while others emphasize regional development and chronological uncertainty. The lead requires checking excavation reports, typological comparisons, and secure dates rather than assuming a single “Harappan” political or ethnic population.
