Archaeologists employ specific methods to investigate potential social or economic disparities among individuals in a given culture. One of these methods involves examining burials. The monumental pyramids of Egypt, some of which were built during the same era as the Harappan civilization, serve as a familiar example. Another approach to discerning social distinctions is the analysis of artifacts, which archaeologists categorize as utilitarian or luxury items. |
In reference to artefacts, rare objects made of valuable materials were generally concentrated in which of the following towns of the Harappan Civilization? a- Harappa b- Kalibangan c- Mohenjodaro d- Rakhigarhi |
a and c b and d a and b All of the above |
a and c |
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 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. |
