3. 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 found the bones of many wild animals such as deer and pig at the earlier levels. This was used as evidence that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters to start with. But later on, herding became important for them as bones of sheep and goats were found at the later levels.
