    2. in amulets.
    3. in another world.
    Which of the statements given above are correct?
    Solution
    Amulets have been found in large numbers from the Indus Valley. Probably the Harappans believed that ghosts and evil forces were capable of harming them and, therefore, used amulets against them. The  Atharva Veda, which is associated with non-Aryan tradition, contains many charms and spells, and recommends amulets for warding off diseases and evil forces.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Remains of horse bones have been found from _________.
    Solution
    The evidence of the horse comes from a superficial level of Mohenjo-Daro and from a doubtful terracotta figurine from Lothal. The remains of the horse are reported from Surkotada, situated in western Gujarat and belong to around 2000 B.C. But the identity is doubtful. In any case, the Harappan culture was not horse-centered.
