(i) Mehrgarh is located on a fertile plain, near the Bolan Pass, one of the most important routes into Iran.
(ii) The remains of square and rectangular houses were found at Mehrgarh. Each house was composed of four or more compartments, some of which may have been used for storage.
(iii) The evidences discovered at Mehrgarh prove that it was probably one of the places where women and men learnt to grow barley and wheat and rear sheep and goats for the first time in human history.

A burial is an arrangement made by people for their relatives and friends.
When people die, generally respect is paid to them. Dead people are looked after perhaps because of the belief that there is some form of life after death. Several burial sites have been found at  Mehrgarh, For instance, the dead persons were buried with goats, which were probably meant to serve as food in the next world.

Grain and bones are found in Daojali Hading. This is a site on the hills near the Brahmaputra Valley. It is close to routes leading into China and Myanmar. Here stone tools, including mortars and pestles, have been found. These indicate that people were probably growing grain and preparing food from it. Jadeite, a stone that may have been brought from China, tools made of fossil wood (ancient wood that has hardened into stone), and also pottery, are found here.

Traces of bones of various animals have been found at the site of Mehrgarh.
(i) It was probably one of the places where women and men learnt to grow barley and wheat, and rear sheep and goats for the first time in this area. It is one of the earliest villages that we know about.
(ii) The evidence of many kinds of animal bones from c the earliest levels has been found by archaeologists during excavation levels, which included bones of wild animals such as deer and pig.
(iii) In later levels, they found more bones of sheep and goat and in still later levels, cattle bones are most common.
(iii) This implies that sheep, goat and cattle were reared by people in later period.
