Abstract
Heritage of the antiquity is a way to understand the material culture related to man, it gives knowledge
about the technology, behaviour, religious and art are followed by generation through generation. This
research is to understand the unique bimetallic antiquity heritage from India, especially the Southeast part
of Rajasthan. The unique bimetallic antiquity discovered during our excavation at the Early Historic site of
Iswal (Tehnsil Girva, Udaipur district, Rajasthan), 20 km north-west of Udaipur city, Rajasthan. Over five
seasons of excavation at this site led to the discovery of important evidence on iron smelting, including the
remains of six smelting and forging furnaces. This bi-metallic antiquity is rare in the Indian context for this
time period and thus raises many questions on aspects of technology and function. The study brings out the
technology and scientific analysis of the object and brings out the knowledge of metal technology form Iswal.
