Question:

2. R.D. Banerji
3. S.N. Roy
4. D.B. Pant

Options:

1

2

3

4

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

S.N. Roy noted in The Story of Indian Archaeology, “Marshall left India three thousand years older than he had found her.” This was because similar, till-then-unidentified seals were found at excavations at Mesopotamian sites. It was then that the world knew not only of a new civilisation (Indus Valley), but also of one contemporaneous with Mesopotamia.
