The correct answer is D) A pandemic of European diseases destroyed Native American cultures before information could be gathered.

The information available to archaeologists about early Native American cultures is very limited in that a pandemic of European diseases destroyed Native American cultures before information could be gathered.

European explorers and settlers brought many diseases unknown by the Native American Indian tribes. Diseases such as typhus, smallpox, influenza, chickenpox, malaria, bubonic plague, and tuberculosis. These diseases wiped out nearly 90% of the American Indians. Furthermore, the American Indians did not use to record their information as other civilizations. Most of their traditions were passed orally to the next generation.
