Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: Only 2 & 3
Notes: Kashmir valley is one of the important areas in terms of availability of Neolithic settlements. Burzahom is located 20 km away from Srinagar in the Kashmir Valley. Gufkral is another important Neolithic site located nearby. Though, Burzahom is a Neolithic site, it appears on the basis of available tools that people living here did not practice agriculture or animal domestication. It is classified as a Neolithic site on the basis of the finding of polished stone tools. A large number of bone tools- including weapons- have been found here. Another unique feature of the Burzahom is the burial of dogs along with their masters.
