You never can call people 'unsophisticated'.
They always make the best of the circumstances.
However, their competence as builders contradicts this view.
A Plan of Compartmented buildings at Mehrgarh was given Rao (1991).
The compartmented structures clearly had a function and were built
according to some sort of protocol. Such a protocol must, logically,
have antedated the foundation of Mehrgarh in order to feature in
an already developed in the oldest habitation layers there.
More could be said about the well-made mud bricks.
