Consider the following statements regarding the early agro-technical evidence excavated at Kalibangan:
1. The pre-Harappan layers revealed a field surface containing two intersecting sets of furrows running at right angles to each other.
2. This specific layout is interpreted as the earliest material indicator of systematic multi-cropping or double-cropping within a single seasonal cycle.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct and represent current consensus. The pre-Harappan stratum at Kalibangan features grid furrows where the narrow spacing ran East-West (likely for mustard) and the wide spacing ran North-South (likely for gram), directly mirroring current traditional crop practices in Rajasthan.
