Match the sites of List-I with the names of their excavators of List-II.
| List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
| (a) Hastinapur | (i) K. M. Srivastava |
| (b) Chopanimando | (ii) G. R. Sharma |
| (c) Laughnaj | (iii) H. D. Sankalia |
| (d) Piparahwa | (iv) B. B. Lal |
Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Answer: A
The correct matching is a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i, which is option A.
Hastinapur was excavated by B. B. Lal (iv), Chopani Mando by G. R. Sharma (ii), Langhnaj by H. D. Sankalia (iii), and Piprahwa by K. M. Srivastava (i). Options B, C and D each give a site to the wrong excavator, such as Hastinapur to Srivastava or Piprahwa to Sankalia. Lal's Hastinapur work of the 1950s gave the sequence from Ochre Coloured Ware through Painted Grey Ware, and Sankalia's Langhnaj gave a Mesolithic microlithic culture in Gujarat.
