UPSC 2019: Which one of the following is not a Harappan site?
(a)Chanhudarо
(b)Kot Diji
(c)Sohgaura
(d)Desalpur
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Sohgaura
Chanhudaro, Kot Diji and Desalpur (Gunthli) all belong to the Early or Mature Harappan phases. Sothi, however, represents the pre-Harappan ‘Sothi-Siswal’ culture that predates the Indus urban phase; hence it is not classified as a Harappan site. Therefore only option (c) satisfies the question. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sothi_%28archaeology%29?utm_source=openai))
