Hortfunde von Kupfergegenständen in Nordindien, insbesondere in der Ebene zwischen Ganges und Aamuna sind seit dem 19. Jahrhundert bekannt. Da in der Nähe dieser Funde keine antiken architektonischen Strukturen und keine Gräber entdeckt wurden, war es bisher schwierig, sie einer bestimmten Kultur zuzuordnen. Gelehrte, insbesondere Paul Yule und D. P. Agrawal, haben inzwischen umfangreiche Forschungen zu diesen Funden durchgeführt, die dazu beitragen, sie in das 2. Jt. v.Chr. und höchstwahrscheinlich in die 2. Hälfte des Jhds. zu datieren.
