Question

From where did the harappans found tin?
I need complete answer.

Answer 1

The current evidence indicates that the Harappans got tin from scattered deposits available in Afghanistan. It is strongly suggested that Shortugai, a trading outpost of the IVC in Northern Afghanistan, might have had connections to the import of lapis lazuli, tin and camels into the cities of the IVC. The Harappans may have also gotten it from the Aravalli mountain range or the Tusham hill range of Haryana. There’s also the possibility that tin was imported from Ferghana and eastern Kazakhstan. The Malay peninsula has also been proposed as another possibility. Although, the chances of this seem highly remote, the discovery of imitations of Southeast Asian pottery and distinctive shouldered axes might make us less skeptical of the close connections between South Asia and Southeast Asia during the Bronze Age.

One interesting theory is that the Post-Harappan people began producing more iron tools and implements once their supply of tin was put to an end.
