OG12-119

下面这题看到曾经有人发贴问过,也已经解决,但是回答的人似乎是短消息发贴之人，所以我看不到回答，只好重新发贴.
119. The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3000 years old. Recently, however, 4500-year-old stone agricultural implements were unearthed at Colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the implements’ designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4500 years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?答案是：(D) Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.

这个选项，题目中不是应该已经排除了？“the implements’ designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times”---不是其他任何人的，那么只可能是玛雅人的呀，不然为什么会和其他文化的工具不一样呢？

同问，论坛上以前的讨论帖都是从 玛雅的石器风格/其他文明的石器风格 角度来讨论的

但从这件4500年前的石器本身来看，它像，且只像玛雅风格（不管谁模仿谁），如果最后证明它不是玛雅的，又是哪里的呢？


更进一步：4500已经是既定事实（应该是地质学考证？），存在以下两种情况：
A——此文明模仿玛雅：4500年前玛雅存在
B——玛雅模仿此文明：4500年前玛雅存在


无论如何都能得出玛雅人早在4500年前就存在的结论。题目无解。

不知道我的逻辑哪里出了问题，求大牛指正！
