Q81
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.
Q82
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.
Q83
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.
Q84
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.
Q85
Which of the following Chalcolithic sites located north of the Ganga River in Bihar has yielded unique evidence of circular mud-walled houses and bone ornaments paired with distinct Black-and-Red ware?
Maner
Chechar-Kutubpur
Oriup
Taradih
Explanation
Chechar-Kutubpur is situated in the Vaishali district of Bihar, north of the Ganga. Its protohistoric and Chalcolithic layers reveal structural configurations of sedentary village life and advanced farming patterns.
Q86
The protohistoric archaeological site of 'Oriup', famous for providing stratified tracks of specialized late Chalcolithic metallurgy including clay crucibles with copper slag residues, is situated in which district of Bihar?
Saran
Bhagalpur
Gaya
Patna
Explanation
Oriup, located near Antichak in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar, is highly celebrated in regional history. Its cultural layers demonstrate that local artisans actively processed, melted, and refined copper ore using specialized fire-clays.
