Which of the following sites in the Indus Valley Civilization provides the earliest archaeological evidence of a tilled agricultural field resembling modern ploughing?
A. Harappa
B. Mohenjo-daro
C. Kalibangan✓ Correct Answer
D. Banawali
💡 Solution & Explanation
Kalibangan provides the earliest known archaeological evidence of a ploughed agricultural field featuring a grid of intersecting furrow lines from pre-Harappan levels. Other mature Indus sites like Mohenjo-daro and Harappa feature advanced urban layouts and granaries rather than early agricultural field excavations. This discovery demonstrates that systematic furrow cultivation was practiced in the Indian subcontinent long before mature urban phases.
