Question

Name some important sites where archaeologists have found evidence of farmers and herders.

Answer 1

These sites can be found in the north-west, in present-day Kashmir and in east and South India.

Herders refer to such people whose main occupation is the rearing of animals through a nomadic lifestyle.

Thus, both herders and farmers rear animals. The main difference is that herders keep migrating from one location to another while farmers remain fixed in one location.
