CAPF 2014
A. Harappan beads were made of gold, copper, shell, lapis lazuli, ivory and a variety of semi-precious stones
B. Archaeologists have identified beadmakers shops on the basis of assemblages of unfinished objects
C. At Chanhudaro, tools, furnaces and beads in various stages of preparations have been found
D. The structure of Banawali, yielded many beads in finished, semi-finished and unfinished states
Answer: The structure of Banawali, yielded many beads in finished, semi-finished and unfinished states
Option d is the correct answer.
The structure of Banawali refers to a citadel and not a site specifically associated with bead-making. Although beads have been found at Banawali but in finished form and not in unfinished form, their discovery did not occur in the context of a dedicated bead-making workshop, unlike the findings at Chanhudaro. However archeologist had identified unfinshed beads in factory sites. Beads were made up of gold, shells, copper etc.
