Although it is difficult to establish whether or not any of these
statements necessarily prove decisively that the Archaic Indians were
less advanced than the Mississippians, the answer is most likely C - The
Archaic Indians lived in shallow, oval-pit houses and larger
rectangular wattle-and-daub dwellings. The first two statements make no
reference to either the Archaic or Missipian Indians, and the last
answer proves the Missipian Indians were advanced, but does not fit the
question.
