Question

According to V. N. Misra’s 1973 report on Bagor, which statement is NOT correct?

The correct answer is

Direct evidence established plant cultivation from the beginning of Phase I.

The plant-cultivation claim is incorrect. Misra described a hunting and herding economy in Phase I, with a developed microlithic industry. He explicitly noted the absence of direct agricultural evidence and treated cultivation from Phase II onward as an inference. His discussion also distinguished differing preliminary identifications of animal bones.
