Neolithic Pit-Dwellings at Burzahom and Gufkral
The question asks to identify two Neolithic sites known for extensive pit-dwellings.
Site Analysis:
- Burzahom and Gufkral are key Neolithic sites located in the Kashmir Valley. Archaeological excavations at these sites have revealed substantial evidence of pit dwellings, which were characteristic of the inhabitants during that period. These dwellings typically involved digging pits into the ground and roofing them over.
- Other sites like Piklihal, Maski, Chirand, Tekkalkota, Kodekal, and Hallur are also important Neolithic settlements but are not primarily identified with the extensive pit-dwelling features found at Burzahom and Gufkral.
Therefore, Burzahom and Gufkral are the correct sites known for extensive pit-dwellings.
