Explanation

During the Neolithic age (New Stone Age, ~7000-1000 BCE in India), people knew and used copper. This period saw the beginning of metal use, with copper being the first metal worked extensively. Iron came much later during the Iron Age (~1200 BCE onwards in India). Gold was known but copper was the primary metal for tools and artifacts.
