Question

Which of the following cannot be considered Proto Harappan Culture?

• A. Jornie Culture
• B. Sothi Culture
• C. Amri Culture
• D. Kot-Dijian Culture

Answer 1

The correct option is A Jornie Culture

Proto Harappan cultures are the pre-Harappan cultures which have some of the features of the mature Harappan phase. Thus, all proto Harappan cultures are pre Harappan ones, but all pre Harappan ones are not proto Harappan. Amri culture in Sindh and Balochistan province of Pakistan, Kot Dijian culture in Sindh province, Sothi-Siswal culture in Haryana area in India were some of the important proto-Harappan sites. Jornie culture is not one of them.
