                                         What land of evidence from burials do archaeologists use to find out whether there were social differences amongst those who were buried?

Answer:

Archaeologists think that objects found with a skeleton probably belonged to the dead person.

(i) Sometimes, more objects are found in one grave than in another. For example, in Brahmagiri, one skeleton was buried with 33 gold beads, 2 stone beads, 4 copper bangles and one conch shell. Other skeletons had only a few pots.

(ii) These findings suggest that there was some difference in status amongst the people who were buried. Some were rich, others poor, some chiefs, while others were followers.
