Detailed Solution

Square or rectangular homes can be found in Mehrgarh.
Each home had at least four compartments, some of which might have been utilised for storage. They used bitumen to line their big basket containers, kept their grain in granaries, and made tools out of the local copper ore. They raised sheep, goats, cattle, six-row barley, einkorn and emmer wheat, jujubes, and dates. Residents of the later period (5500–2600 BCE) invested a lot of time and effort into their crafts, which included metalworking, bead-making, tanning, and flint knapping. It's possible that Mehrgarh was South Asia's first known agricultural hub. The earliest known example of the lost-wax method is a copper amulet in the shape of a wheel discovered at Mehrgarh 6,000 years ago. The amulet was made of unalloyed copper and was a rare invention that was eventually abandoned.
