The mortuary evidence excavated at the Late Jorwe chalcolithic settlement of Inamgaon (Maharashtra) provides unique structural proof of advanced political chiefdoms and social hierarchy based on which of the following practices?

Question

Accepted Answer

Inamgaon exhibits advanced chiefdom. Standard Jorwe mortuary behavior demanded that the feet of dead adults be chopped off before burial to prevent them from becoming ghosts. However, a wealthy individual (likely the chief) was found buried completely intact within a heavy four-legged clay urn in a central five-room house, indicating an elite structural exemption from standard tribal constraints.
