Question
Why do archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters to start with and that herding became more important later?
Solution
- Archaeologists who excavated the site of Mehrgarh found evidence of many kinds of animal bones from the earliest levels.
- These included bones of wild animals such as the deer and pig.
- In later levels, they found more bones of sheep and goats.
- And in still later levels, cattle bones are most common, suggesting that these were the animals that were kept generally by the people of Mehrgarh.
- The people of Mehrgarh were hunters to start with and that herding became more important later.
