Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

The earliest characteristically Mayan pottery found at Colha, a site in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. This fact has led many archaeologists to conclude that the Maya first settled Colha about 3,000 years ago. However, 4,500-year-old stone agricultural implements recently found at Colha apparently undermine that conclusion, since the implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period that were also found at Colha, and since

(A) other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times produced stone implements that were strikingly different in design

(B) there is no evidence for agricultural activity by the Maya in other locations until about 3,000 years ago

(C) decorations on Mayan pottery became increasingly more elaborate as Mayan culture grew in complexity

(D) ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Maya to make agricultural implements"

(E) many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago were based on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols
