How can a trading settlement be identified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: From evidence of goods obtained from different regions and transport routes
A trading settlement is suggested by non-local goods, imported raw materials, varied finished products and evidence connecting the site with transport or exchange routes. Such findings show contact with regions beyond the settlement. Domestic hearths, field remains and animal bones may indicate ordinary household, farming or subsistence activity, but each can occur without trade. Therefore, option A provides the strongest combined evidence.
