Question:

What were some of the specialized shell objects produced in Nageshwar and Balakot in the Harappan Civilisation?

Options:

Pottery and tools

Weighing scales and jewellery

Bangles and ladles

Seals and weights

Correct Answer:

Bangles and ladles

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Bangles and ladles

Nageshwar and Balakot, both located near the coast, were specialized centers for producing shell objects such as bangles, ladles, and inlays,
which were then transported to other settlements. Similarly, finished products, including beads, from Chanhudaro and Lothal were likely taken to larger urban centers such as Mohenjodaro and Harappa.
