Identifying the Incorrect Archaeological Match

This question requires identifying the incorrectly matched pair between an Indus Valley Civilization site and a specific archaeological feature or finding associated with it.

Analyzing Site Associations

  • Rakhigarhi - Middle Town: Rakhigarhi is a major Indus Valley site known for its extensive urban planning, including evidence of different settlement phases which could be referred to as 'Middle Town'. This association is plausible.
  • Harappa - Cemetery - H: Harappa is famously associated with Cemetery H, a distinct burial site representing a later phase of the Indus Valley Civilization. This match is correct.
  • Mohenjo-daro - Cemetery R - 37: Cemetery R-37 is a well-known burial site, but it is specifically associated with the site of Harappa, not Mohenjo-daro. Mohenjo-daro has its own significant burial grounds, but R-37 is linked to Harappa.
  • Kalibangan - Burial of male and female: Kalibangan offers unique insights into IVC practices, including distinct burial patterns. While the description is brief, it doesn't inherently conflict with known findings, which include various burial types.

Conclusion on Incorrect Match

The pairing of Mohenjo-daro with Cemetery R-37 is incorrect. Cemetery R-37 is definitively linked to the site of Harappa.
