Mehrgarh
Gumla
Sarai Khola
Jalilpur
Choose the correct answer using the codes given below: Answer:
1, 2, 3 & 4
Notes:
Mehrgarh is essentially one of transition between the
upland valleys of the eastern Iranian plateau and the beginning of
the plains of the Indus system.
Gumla lies on the right bank of the Indus, and on the alluvial plains of its tributary, Gomal River. A sequence of six periods was discovered here.
A third early settlement is at Sarai Khola, some 3 km southwest of Taxila. This site is located on the high alluvial plateau which marks the northern border of the Indus plains in this area.
The fourth early settlement of the Indus system is at Jalilpur in south-western Punjab, some 65 km south-west of Harappa, standing near the left bank of the Ravi River.
