Question Description
Read the following extract carefully and answer the following question by choosing the correct option:Today Mesopotamian excavators have much higher standards of accuracy and care in recording than in the old days, so that few dig huge areas the way Ur was excavated. Moreover, few archaeologists have the funds to employ large teams of excavators. Thus, the mode of obtaining data has changed.Take the small town of Abu Salabikh, about 10 hectares in area in 2500 BCE with a population less than 10000. The outlines of walls were at first traced by scrapping surfaces. This involves scraping off the top few millimetres of the moundwith the sharp and wide end of a shovel or other tool. While the soil underneath was still slightly moist, the archaeologist could make out different colours, textures and lines of bricks, walls or pits or other features. A few houses that were discovered were excavated. The archaeologist also sieved through tons of earth to recover plant and animal remains, and in the process identified many species of plants and animals and found large quantities of charred fish bones that had been swept out onto the streets. Plant seeds and fibre remained after dung cake had been burned as fuel and thus kitchens were identified. Living rooms were those with fewer traces. Because they found the teeth of very young pigs on the streets, archaeologists concluded that pigs must have roamed freely here as in any other Mesopotamia towns. In fact, one house burial contained some pig bones - the dead person must have been given some pork for his nourishment in the Afterlife. The archaeologist also made microscopic studies of room floors to decide which rooms in a house were roofed (with popular logs, Palm leaves, straw etc.) and which were open to the sky.Q. What do you think, according to the extract, the presence of pig bones along with burial indicates?a)Pigs were of religious value.b)The Mesopotamian were fond of pig as pet animalsc)It shows that the dead person must have been given some pork for his nourishment in the afterlife.d)Both (a) and (b).Correct answer is option 'C'.
