01 If a traded object bears marks associated with both source and destination, what does this indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Multi-stage identification or re-authentication
Explanation: The governing idea is that archaeological marks can record stages in an object's circulation. Marks linked to both the source and destination may show that the object was checked, identified, or authenticated at more than one point in its journey. Therefore option A is the best interpretation. The other choices either deny movement or assume decoration or ownership without evidence.
