Consider the following statements about Lothal:
- In the Indus Valley Civilisation, Lothal was a centre of trade with Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia.
- Double burial was a common feature of Lothal.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Lothal, with its famous dockyard, was a major Harappan trading centre linked to Mesopotamia and other regions, so statement 1 is correct. Double burials, where a male and female were interred together in a single grave, are a noted feature of the site, so statement 2 is correct. Both statements hold.
