Why do archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters to start with and that herding became more important later?                                                

Answer:

  

Archaeologists think many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters because they have found bones of many kinds of animals from earliest levels. These included bones of wild animals such as deer and pig. In later levels, they found more bones of sheep and goat, and in still later levels, cattle bones were more commonly found.
