In reference to ancient Indian history, where is Burzahom located where pit houses were found?

Kashmir

The correct answer is Option 3- Kashmir

Burzahom is a prehistoric archaeological site located in the Srinagar district of the Kashmir Valley in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is the northernmost excavated Neolithic site of India. The site is on an ancient Pleistocene lake bed.

Archaeological excavations have revealed four phases of cultural significance between 3000 BCE and 1000 BCE. Periods I and II represent the Neolithic era; Period III the Megalithic era (of massive stone menhirs and wheel turned red pottery); and Period IV relates to the early Historical Period (Post-megalithic period).

One of the most important discoveries at Burzahom was the pit houses. Pit houses are semi-subterranean dwellings that are dug into the ground. They are typically round or oval in shape and have a thatched roof. Pit houses were common in many parts of the world during the Neolithic period.

The discovery of pit houses at Burzahom provides important evidence about the lifestyle of the early inhabitants of Kashmir. It suggests that they were a semi-nomadic people who lived in small villages. They practiced agriculture and animal husbandry, and they also hunted and gathered wild foods.
