Excavation of the house of a third-century Camarnian official revealed that he had served four magistrates—public officials who administer the law—over his thirty-year public career, in four provincial capital cities. However, given the Camarnian administrative system of that era, it is unclear whether he served them simultaneously, as a traveling administrator living for part of the year in each provincial capital, or else did so sequentially, leaving one magistrate after several years to join another.
Which of the following would, if found in the excavation, most likely help reveal the pattern of the official's administrative service?
A. Maps and documents describing each of the four provincial capitals
B. A cache of the official's documents related to work from early in his career
C. A set of cups of a type made only in the city of the first magistrate whom the official is known to have served
D. Several pieces of furniture in the styles of two of the provincial capital cities
E. Heavy clothing appropriate only for the coldest of the four cities
