It is one of the largest Harappan sites in India, and is known for its well-preserved fortifications, water management system, and urban planning. The site was excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India from 1989 to 1995.<\/p>\n<p>Dholavira was occupied from the late Harappan period (2600-1900 BCE) to the early Historic period (1900-1300 BCE). The site was abandoned around 1300 BCE, and was not reoccupied until the 19th century CE.<\/p>\n<p>The site is divided into three main areas: the citadel, the lower town, and the cemetery. The citadel is the most impressive part of the site, and is surrounded by a massive fortification wall. The lower town is located to the south of the citadel, and is home to a number of residential and public buildings. The cemetery is located to the east of the citadel, and contains a number of graves.<\/p>\n<p>Dholavira is a significant site for the study of the Harappan civilization. The site provides valuable insights into the urban planning, water management, and social structure of the Harappans.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>b) Rojadi<\/strong> is a Middle Paleolithic site located in Gujarat, India. However, it is not as significant as Dholavira.<\/li>\n<li><strong>c) Bhimbetka<\/strong> is a rock shelter complex located in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is known for its prehistoric cave paintings. However, it is not a Middle Paleolithic site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>d) Lothal<\/strong> is a Harappan archaeological site located in Gujarat, India. It is known for its well-preserved dock and warehouse complex. However, it is not a Middle Paleolithic site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Dholavira&#8221; option2=&#8221;Rojadi&#8221; option3=&#8221;Bhimbetka&#8221; option4=&#8221;Lothal&#8221; correct=&#8221;option1&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[979],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gujarat-state-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A significant Middle Paleolithic site has been excavated in Gujarat.
