Which archaeological site gives the earliest evidence, so far known about use of the Betel nut (Areca Catechu) in India ?
Answer: B
The key names Watgal as the site that gives the earliest known evidence of the betel nut (Areca catechu) in India. Watgal is a Neolithic-Chalcolithic settlement in the Raichur region of Karnataka, in the Deccan region where the early South Indian agricultural cultures were centred, and the plant remains reported from such sites are what the question is about. Budihal, Pattikonda and Hallur are also peninsular prehistoric sites, but none of them is the one the official key gives for this early record, so they are rejected by the key, and the choice rests on the published key and not on a general rule.
