Pueblo Bonito, the most impressive of the "great houses" at the prehistoric Chaco Canyon site in New Mexico, comprised over 600 rooms and 4 to 5 stories. Traditional interpretations have viewed the great houses as almost entirely residential with some archaeologists estimating the population of Pueblo Bonito at 1,200. But Windes recently challenged this view by pointing out the paucity of hearths recorded during the excavation of Pueblo Bonito, which revealed only 3 upper-story hearths, in contrast to 59 ground-floor hearths: habituation rooms would have required hearths for cooking and heat. It is possible, however, that the collapse of upper-story floors disturbed evidence of upper-story hearth to such an extent that they were not revealed by early excavations such as those conducted by Pepper’s field crews in the 1890s and Judd’s in the 1920s. Additionally, reliance on room features for early population estimates is complicated by the Chacoan’s later remodeling, especially given Judd’s disinclination to destroy later structures and features to expose earlier ones. The failure of early excavations to strip off intact floors may have concealed evidence of hearths in upper-story rooms.
The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about Windes’ argument?
选项
A、It relies on evidence that is irrelevant to the examination of structures as large as Pueblo Bonito
B、It fails to acknowledge crucial evidence from great houses other than Pueblo Bonito
C、It fails to incorporate crucial evidence from excavations before the 1920s.
D、It is based on a false notion about the significance of hearths.
E、It is based on evidence that may be incomplete.
答案
E
解析
本题考查的是作者观点,定位到第四五六三句话,概括起来都是在说是因为证据被破坏或者证据被隐藏才导致温德斯找不到灶台,因此选项E正确。
