Metallurgy has emerged as one of the most
important inventions of humankind and has contributed
enormously to human culture. Metallurgy in India has a
distinguished history, beginning from the Indus Valley
Civilization and even earlier. The Indian state of
Jharkhand, which currently contains about 40% of the
nation's mineral resources , has a consistently long
history and tradition of metallurgy . Smelting sites of
iron, copper and gold have been found in many areas of
the state. It is known that primitive tribes of Jharkhand
especially one known as Asurs, who are now facing
extinction , possessed and implemented the metallurgy of
iron, copper and gold. This paper discusses the practice
of metallurgy and mining procedures in ancient India
and Jharkhand of metals, minerals and alloys including
iron, copper , gold , Bronze and brass, tin zinc, mica
and coal.
