question 30

Multiple Choice

The "schlep effect" caused Perkins and Daly to explain that throwing away the bones was why upper limb bones were not found at the Neolithic village, Suberde. R.E. Chaplin interpreted the shortage of upper limb bones on a late-ninth century Saxon farm as the result of butchering and dressing the carcasses for market. Upper limb bones missing at American Plains Indian sites were argued by T. White to have been pulverized and boiled to render the grease to make pemmican. These examples exemplify the following:

• A) the difficulty of archaeologists to agree on interpretations.
• B) the lack of validity in archaeological interpretations made from animal bone.
• C) several competing hypotheses account for the same body of facts.
• D) you cannot hypothesize from an absence of data.
