Q15 (IAS/2002) History & Culture › Ancient India › Ancient epigraphy and archaeology Answer Verified

Match List I (Ancient site) with List II (Archaeological finding) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

(Ancient site) | (Archaeological finding)
A. Lothal | 1. Ploughed field
B. Kalibangan | 2. Deckyard
C. Dholavira | 3. Terracotta replica of a plough
D. Banawali | 4. An inscription comprising ten large sized signs of the Harappan script

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Option 2 (A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3) is correct because Arikamedu is explicitly cited as an ancient port/urban site with architectural remains and port-related material, matching the ‘port/harbour’ type finding for A [1]. The Harappan site is associated with characteristic seals and Harappan artefacts, matching B with seals/inscribed objects [2]. Sanchi and similar Buddhist sites are identified by stupas and chaityas (architectural and sculptural remains), fitting C with stupa/chaitya remains [1]. The megalithic early-historic locations are linked to burial contexts and funerary assemblages, matching D with megalithic burials [1]. These correspondences therefore support the A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3 pairing (Option 2).
