Which of the following sites in the Indus Valley Civilization is unique for having a lower town that was also fortified?
A. Mohenjo-daro
B. Kalibangan✓ Correct Answer
C. Harappa
D. Chanhu-daro
💡 Solution & Explanation
Kalibangan is distinguished among Indus Valley Civilization sites because both its citadel and lower residential town were separately fortified with mud-brick walls. Most contemporary Harappan sites fortified only the citadel area while leaving the lower town unfortified. Archaeological site characteristics are frequently tested to assess deep knowledge of the Harappan civilization.
