Although the passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century Cahokian sites in the present day United States examined household food trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare. Given that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed almost every other animal protein source available, Q2the archaeologists conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had once been very limited before increasing dramatically in post-Columbian America. Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved. But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones- and even Q1tiny bones from fish. [br] Which of the following, if true, would most call into question the reasoning of “the archaeologists conducting the studies”?
选项
A、Audubon was unable to correctly identify twelfth-century Cahokian sites
B、Audubon made his observations before passenger pigeon populations began to decline.
C、Passenger pigeons would have been attracted to household food trash
D、Archaeologist have found passenger pigeon remains among food waste at eighteenth-century human settlements
E、Passenger pigeons tended not to roost at the same sites for very many generations
答案
E
解析
本题中“从事研究的考古学家”指的是前两句话里认为十二世纪的美国没鸽子的考古学家。这些考古学家仅仅通过Cahokian遗址在十二世纪没有鸽子踪迹就认为整个美国在十二世纪都没有鸽子,但是E选项说鸽子不会在同一个地方待很长时间,这就意味着有可能十二世纪只是在Cahokian遗址没有鸽子,但是在其他地方有鸽子。因此E选项可以质疑考古学家观点。
