From which of the following Neolithic sites the oldest evidence of rice in the world has been found?
A. Chopani Mando B. Mahgara C. Koldihwa D. Burzahom
Explanation: Three radiocarbon dates from Koldihwa provide the earliest evidence for the domesticated variety of rice going back to about c. 6500 B.C. which make it the oldest evidence of rice in any part of the world. Thus, in all probability agriculture in the Belan valley began around c. 6500 B.C. Besides rice, evidence for barley cultivation is attested at Mahgara.
