A student takes the following notes while researching prehistoric Pacific migrations:
* The Lapita culture is known for its prehistoric Pacific earthenware featuring complex geometric patterns created by dentate-stamping.
* Archaeologists have discovered Lapita pottery fragments across a vast region spanning from the Bismarck Archipelago to Samoa.
* Analysis of the clay and temper reveals that the pottery was manufactured locally at various settlement sites rather than traded from a single location.
* By tracing the distribution and stylistic shifts of these locally made pots, researchers have mapped the migration paths of Austronesian-speaking groups across Remote Oceania.
The student wants to summarize the archaeological findings regarding Lapita pottery. Which choice most effectively uses information from the given notes to accomplish this goal?
- AAlthough Lapita pottery features complex geometric patterns created by dentate-stamping, fragments discovered between the Bismarck Archipelago and Samoa were produced using locally sourced clay and temper.
- By mapping the geographic distribution and stylistic evolution of locally manufactured Lapita pottery, archaeologists have been able to trace the migration routes of prehistoric Austronesian populations across Remote Oceania.Cevap
- CPrehistoric Pacific populations migrated across Remote Oceania by carrying decorated Lapita pottery from a single origin point to sites as far as Samoa.
- DLapita pottery fragments, which are prehistoric Pacific earthenware characterized by dentate-stamped geometric patterns, have been discovered by archaeologists at various sites spanning from the Bismarck Archipelago to Samoa.
