Reading the passage
The change in archaeology included saving objects even when no one could immediately see their value. That keeps the evidence available for later study. The second paragraph makes this policy part of the shift toward understanding past cultures.
Working the answers
- A
Textile research is our subject, but increased interest in ancient crafts isn't identified as an element of that transformation.
- B
No transfer of preservation techniques from textile conservation experts is described.
- C
The new techniques analyze remains. We aren't told that restoring damaged artifacts was part of this change.
- D
Finding the ancient shirt shows the later payoff of preserving material. It isn't the change in archaeological practice itself.
- ECorrect
This matches the policy of “preserving all objects,” including those with “no immediately discernible value.” Something that looks useless now may answer a question researchers ask later.
