Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
The metal artisans of Harappa employed a wide range of metals, including copper, gold, and silver. Most of the artifacts that archaeologists have discovered are made of metal, including copper, bronze, gold, and silver, as well as stone, shells, and metal. In the Harappan cities, Iron was not used. They made use of gold and silver to make coins and ornaments. Since it was a bronze-era society, copper and bronze saw more metallurgical advancements than Iron. Raw resources were supplied to the Harappans by other nearby countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Kashmir.
The correct statement is that Iron was not used in Harappan cities; instead of Iron they were aware of the use of bronze and copper.
