We are able to reconstruct the technology that was utilized in the production of zinc in ancient India thanks to the evidence that has been uncovered by archaeological explorations and excavations at Zawar. Radiocarbon examine of two wood tests, one of them got from a wash and the other from a platform, both found at a profundity of 100 m in the displays of old sphalerite mines at Zawar, has given dates of 2120±60 bp and 1920±50 bp. Creation of zinc presents unique issues on the grounds that the edge of boiling over of the metal is lower than the base temperature needed for extraction of zinc from zinc oxide.
