Q91
During the excavation of which major protohistoric site in Bihar did archaeologists find definitive evidence of specialized micro-bead manufacturing using steatite and chalcedony within its Late Neolithic and early Chalcolithic matrices?
Chirand
Maner
Senuwar
Katragarh
Explanation
Senuwar in Rohtas district has yielded extensive specialized behavioral tracks of early craft specialization. In Phase IA and IB, thousands of finished and unfinished micro-beads of semi-precious stones were recovered, showing a highly advanced local lapidary technology.
Q92
The Chalcolithic and early Iron Age site of 'Chechar-Kutubpur', which provided critical structural traces of mud-walled homes paired with bone points and distinct Black-and-Red ware pottery, is situated north of the Ganga in which district of Bihar?
Muzaffarpur
Vaishali
Samastipur
Begusarai
Explanation
Chechar-Kutubpur is situated in the Vaishali district of Bihar, lying north of the Ganga River. It represents a vital North Bihar regional settlement tracking specialized protohistoric technology and early sedentary agricultural setups.
Q93
The historical site of 'Maner', which has provided significant stratified evidence of multi-roomed clay huts, copper hooks, and a heavy distribution of Black-and-Red ware pottery, is situated in which district of Bihar?
Bhojpur
Patna
Nalanda
Saran
Explanation
Maner is an essential protohistoric and Chalcolithic site excavated under Patna University, situated in the Patna district of Bihar. It tracks a clean evolutionary layout of early sedentary farming setups before early historical urban parameters began near Pataliputra.
Q94
Which important protohistoric archaeological site situated in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar has yielded significant evidence of late Chalcolithic metallurgy, including copper crucibles paired with distinct painted Black-and-Red ware?
Chirand
Oriup
Manjhi
Sonpur
Explanation
Oriup, located near Antichak in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar, is a classic site frequently mapped in BPSC evaluations. Excavations here provided stratified tracks of specialized copper craftsmanship, terracottas, and extensive local food grain storage structures during the Chalcolithic stage.
Q95
The historic site of 'Sonpur', which provided definitive stratified sequences tracking early iron usage directly emerging out of a transitional late Chalcolithic agricultural substrate, is located on the banks of which river in Bihar?
Jamuni River
Gandak River
Kosi River
Phalgu River
Explanation
Sonpur (located in the Gaya district of Bihar) lies on the banks of the Jamuni River. Excavations here demonstrated a clean evolutionary blueprint where late Chalcolithic village layouts transitioned directly into Iron Age layers featuring stylized bone ornaments and iron arrows.
Q96
The historical site of 'Maner', which has provided unique stratified evidence of multi-roomed clay huts, copper hooks, and a heavy distribution of Black-and-Red ware pottery, is situated in which district of Bihar?
Bhojpur
Patna
Nalanda
Saran
Explanation
Maner is an essential protohistoric and Chalcolithic site excavated under Patna University, situated in the Patna district of Bihar. It tracks a clean evolutionary layout of early sedentary farming setups before early historical urban parameters began near Pataliputra.

Q99
The Chalcolithic settlement of 'Imlidih Khurd', which provides critical regional context for the contemporary transitional farming layouts spreading eastward into the Sarayupar plain of Bihar's borderland, is situated on the banks of which river?
Kuwana River
Gandak River
Son River
Burhi Gandak
Explanation
Imlidih Khurd, located on the banks of the Kuwana River (a tributary of the Ghaghara system), is highly celebrated for its early Chalcolithic corded pottery layer that correlates directly with the earliest sedentary lifestyles discovered across northwestern Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh.
