Question

Why do archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters to start with and that herding became more important later ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters to start with and that herding became important later because at the earlier levels of the excavation sites, bones of wild animals such as deer and pig werefound while at the later levels morebones of sheep, goats and cattle werefound.

Answer 2

Answer:

Archaeologists have found different types of remains from different levels of

excavation at Mehrgarh. Remains from deeper levels show bones of wild animals.

This shows that people were still hunters. Remains from upper levels show bones of

domesticated animals. This shows that later on people became herders.
