The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect. |
The correct answer is Option 4 - The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect. Assertion: Gold was a rare metal in the Harappan civilization. (Correct) Reason: All the gold jewellery found at Harappan sites was recovered from burials. (Incorrect) If we study the distribution of such artefacts, we find that rare objects made of valuable materials are generally concentrated in large settlements like Mohenjodaro and Harappa and are rarely found in the smaller settlements. For example, miniature pots of faience, perhaps used as perfume bottles, are found mostly in Mohenjodaro and Harappa, and there are none from small settlements like Kalibangan. Gold too was rare, and as at present, probably precious – all the gold jewellery found at Harappan sites was recovered from hoards. |
