Consider the following statements regarding the agricultural and subsistence patterns of the Indus Civilisation:
1. Evidences of a pre-harvest ploughed field furrow layout showing double crop patterns have been excavated at Kalibangan in Rajasthan.
2. In terms of crop diversification, specialized rice husk remnants embedded in pottery clay have been uniquely identified at Lothal and Rangpur.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. Kalibangan features early pre-Harappan layers showing intersecting furrows for multi-cropping. While wheat and barley dominated the core indus belt, the macro-botanical remains from Lothal and Rangpur prove that Gujarat communities incorporated seasonal rice cultivation.
