单选题 Which of the following can NOT reduce the reliance upon excavation?

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】本题问以下哪项不能减少对挖掘的依赖。从第二段第六句"No longer is the emphasis simply upon the acquisition of material culture or artifacts."可以看出过去是将重点放在"material culture or artifacts"的获取上,而要获取material culture or artifacts就要依赖挖掘,故[B]“更多人工制品的获得”不能减少对挖掘的依赖。 [A]放射性碳原子检测的应用:第二段第一、二两句"As technology improves...radio carbon dating or eveb DNA samples;The ability to...suggests that less excavation is required."可以看出使用放射性碳原于检测可以减少对挖掘的依赖。 [C]过程考古学的出现:从第三段可以看出proeassual archaeology拓宽了考古学的视野,提出很多新的问题,从而减少了对挖掘本身的依赖。 [D]地表普查技术的发展:第二段第四句“...requirements for extensive excavation have diminished through the advancement of other analytical techniques and not just surface survey techniques"可以看出地表勘查技术的改进可以降低对挖掘的依赖。
