Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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 were found while at the later levels more bones of sheep, goats and cattle were found.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mehrgarh is located in present-day Baluchistan near Bolan pass in Pakistan. Archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters because they found bones of many kinds of animal bones from the earliest levels. These included bones of wild animals such as deer and pig. In the first levels, they found bones of sheep and goat and in still later levels, cattle bones were more common. This clearly shows a transition from the practice of hunting to domesticating animals.
