Q. Which of the following sites is/are located on the Makran coast?
Sutkagendor
Dabarkot
Sotkoh
Khairia Kot
Choose the correct answer using the codes given below: Answer:
Only 1, 3 & 4
Notes:
The three Harappan sites on the Makran coast—Sutkagendor, Sotka-koh and Khairia Kot—have been generally considered to have been ports in the maritime links with the Gulf and Mesopotamia, and with the discovery of an Omani sherd at Sutkagendor the hypothesis has gained strength.
Dabarkot in north Baluchistan seems to possess a distinct Harappan level. Considering the accessibility of Afghanistan from this area, Dabarkot may be a trading or resource-procuring settlement.
