Which of the following Neolithic archaeological sites in Kashmir is renowned for subterranean pit-dwellings and unique burial practices where dogs were buried alongside their masters?

A. Burzahom✓ Correct Answer
B. Gufkral
C. Mehrgarh
D. Daojali Hading

💡 Solution & Explanation

Burzahom is distinguished by its subterranean pit dwellings, which provided shelter from the harsh cold climate of the Kashmir valley, alongside unique joint burials of humans and dogs. Other Neolithic sites like Mehrgarh are famous for early agriculture and mud-brick architecture rather than pit dwellings. Such archaeological markers are standard topics in ancient Indian history.
