Metal rings recently excavated from seventh-century settlements in the western part of Mexico were made using the same metallurgical techniques as those used by Ecuadorian artisans before and during that period. These techniques are sufficiently complex to make their independent development in both areas unlikely. Since the people of these two areas were in cultural contact archaeologists hypothesize that the metallurgical techniques used to make the rings found in Mexico were learned by Mexican artisans from Ecuadorian counterparts. Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the archaeologists hypothesis A Whether metal objects were traded from Ecuador to western Mexico during the seventh century B Whether travel between western Mexico and Ecuador in the seventh century would have been primarily by land or by sea C Whether artisans from western Mexico could have learned complex metallurgical techniques from their Ecuadorian counterparts without actually leaving western Mexico D Whether metal tools were used in the seventh-century settlements in western Mexico E Whether any of the techniques used in the manufacture of the metal rings found in western Mexico are still practiced among artisans in Ecuador today Argument Evaluation Situation Metal rings excavated from seventh-century settlements in western Mexico were made with the same complex techniques used in Ecuador before and during a period when the two cultures were known to be in contact. Mexican artisans are thought to have learned the techniques from Ecuadorian artisans. Reasoning What point could best be applied in evaluating this hypothesis Consider what specific information would help to assess the archaeologists theory. It is given that the two areas had some cultural contact. If it were determined that metal objects were traded from one culture to the other it could be possible that the metalworking techniques were
