A newly unearthed Aztec tomb must have been created after 1428 but before 1430. It couldn’t have been constructed before 1428 because it contains a type of headdress that was not created until later that year. It also could not have been built after 1430 because it contains a type of wood that the Aztecs were known to have stopped using in that same year.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The style in which the Aztecs built tombs did not change between 1428 and 1430.
(B) There is no other evidence in the tomb that can be tested accurately for age.
(C) No stocks of the old wood existed after 1430.
(D) The Aztecs did not construct the tomb over the course of many years.
(E) The headdress was familiar to most Aztecs in 1428.
