A curator and their team at the Metropolitan Museum of Art methodically went through their collection of Egyptian jewelry recovered from ancient tombs to learn as much as possible and determined that beads of lapis lazuli and turquoise were more highly prized in Egypt than were beads of amethyst and glass. However, the team also concluded that amethyst and glass were likely more readily available to Egyptian jewelry-makers, noting that -------Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to support the archival team's conclusions? the largest amount of jewelry was found in the tomb discovered in 1898, which suggests that during the period of time which that tomb dates back to, ancient Egypt was at its economical zenith. eliminateoverall, in the tombs discovered, the difference in the amounts of jewelry with each material suggests that amethyst and glass were easier for Egyptian jewelers to obtain than lapis lazuli and turquoise. eliminatein each of the tombs discovered, the difference in the amounts of jewelry with each material suggest that ancient Egyptians preferred jewelry made with glass and amethyst since those appeared in higher numbers.eliminatethe larger amounts of lapis lazuli and turquoise found in the tombs discovered in 1799 and 1813 than the ones discovered in 1881 and 1898 suggests that something happened which affected Egypt's access to precious stones in the time of the later tombs.
