Question
According to the traditional chronology that dates its early farming phase to the seventh millennium BCE, which of these Neolithic sites is associated with the earliest evidence of crop production in the Indian subcontinent?
The correct answer is
Mehragarh
Mehragarh in Balochistan. Its wheat and barley farming was traditionally dated to the seventh millennium BCE. This is the chronology behind the question. A 2025 study of human tooth enamel proposed substantially later dates for the aceramic Neolithic cemetery, so the traditional date should not be presented as an uncontested current conclusion.
