Question

At which of the following sites is there evidence of dog burial along with humans?

  1. Burzahom
  2. Koldihwa
  3. Chopani
  4. Mando

Answer:

Option A: Burzahom

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Burzahom”.

Burzahom, located in Kashmir, is a Neolithic (7000 BCE to 1000 BCE) archaeological site.

Excavations here have revealed pits used as dwellings, and more significantly, graves where dogs were buried alongside humans, suggesting a close relationship between humans and animals during that period.
