Question

why is the information available to archaeologists about early native american cultures very limited? inter - tribal warfare eliminated large numbers of native americans, so little information was available. a pandemic of european diseases destroyed native american cultures before information could be gathered. native americans had no written languages so their cultural artifacts could not be analyzed. native american cultures were highly secretive, so it was not possible to locate information about their cultures

Explanation:

When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they brought diseases like small - pox to which Native Americans had no immunity. These diseases spread rapidly and decimated Native American populations and cultures before much information could be recorded or studied by archaeologists. Inter - tribal warfare was not the main reason for limited information. Many Native American groups had forms of record - keeping other than written languages, and they were not highly secretive in a way that would prevent all information gathering.

Answer:

A pandemic of European diseases destroyed Native American cultures before information could be gathered.
