Question

describe the .main features of the neolithic site of mehrgarh​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mehrgarh is one of the earliest sites with evidence of farming and herding in South Asia.[2][3][note 1] Mehrgarh was influenced by the Near Eastern Neolithic,[13] with similarities between "domesticated wheat varieties, early phases of farming, pottery, other archaeological artefacts, some domesticated plants and herd animals."[14][note 2] According to Parpola, the culture migrated into the Indus Valley and became the Indus Valley Civilisation.[15]

Jean-Francois Jarrige argues for an independent origin of Mehrgarh. Jarrige notes "the assumption that farming economy was introduced full-fledged from Near-East to South Asia,"[16][note 2] and the similarities between Neolithic sites from eastern Mesopotamia and the western Indus valley, which are evidence of a "cultural continuum" between those sites. But given the originality of Mehrgarh, Jarrige concludes that Mehrgarh has an earlier local background," and is not a "'backwater' of the Neolithic culture of the Near East."[16]
