Question

Very Short Answer Type Question.
Give one feature of houses in Mehrgarh.

Answer 1

Hint
Mehrgarh is situated near the Bolan Pass, to the west of the valley of the Indus River and between Quetta, Kalat and Sibi, the present-day Pakistani towns. A small farming village dated between 7000 BCE and 5500 BCE was the earliest settlement at Mehrgarh, on the northeast corner of the 495-acre (2.00 km2) site. It is considered to be the earliest known centre of agriculture in South Asia.

Complete answer:
Early Mehrgarh residents lived in mud-brick houses, stored their grain in granaries, fashioned local copper ore tools, and lined their big containers with bitumen baskets. There were plantings of six-row barley, einkorn and emmer wheat, jujubes and dates, and sheep, goats and cattle were herded. Later-period residents put a lot of effort into crafts (5500 BCE to 2600 BCE), including flint knapping, tanning, bead making, and metalworking. In South Asia, Mehrgarh is possibly the earliest known centre of agriculture.

A 6,000-year-old wheel-shaped copper amulet found at Mehrgarh provides the oldest known example of the lost-wax technique. The amulet, an uncommon innovation that was later discarded, was crafted from unalloyed copper.

So, one feature of houses in Mehrgarh would be that they were made of mud and brick.

Note
Mehrgarh was discovered by an archaeological team headed by French archaeologists Jean-François Jarrige and Catherine Jarrige in 1974 and was continuously excavated between 1974 and 1986, and again between 1997 and 2000. In six mounds, archaeological material was found, and about 32,000 artefacts were gathered.
