Question

A necklace from this site made with steatite (“STEE-uh-tite”) beads capped with gold was split in half and shared between two countries during a transfer of over 12,000 objects found here during the 1940s. An artifact found at this site of a possibly phallic, three-headed god was linked by John Marshall (10[1])with a later god’s epithet “lord of animals”; that artifact is the Pashupati seal. Jonathan Mark Kenoyer (10[1])criticized the identification of the “Great Granary” at this site (-5[1])by Mortimer Wheeler for lacking (10[1])any evidence of grain storage. Statues known as the Priest-King and (10[1])the Dancing Girl were found at this site. (10[1])Over 40,000 people who may have lived at this site had access to the Great Bath. For 10 points, (-5[1])name this site in Sindh, the largest site in the Harappan (10[1])or Indus River Valley civilization. ■END■ (0[2])
