Extensive archaeological research has shown that male crusaders killed during battle in the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1287 AD) were buried on their backs with both their hands and their feet clasped. During archaeological excavations of a crusader burial ground three miles from the ancient city of Jerusalem, a skeleton of a woman was found buried on her back with both her hands and feet clasped. The archaeologist conducting the excavation hypothesized that this skeleton belonged to a female crusader killed in battle.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologist's hypothesis?

A) No written material depicting crusader-period battles mentions female crusaders fighting alongside the men.
B) A coin found near the fingers of the skeleton portrays a relief of king Baldwin II of Jerusalem who died in 1131.
C) When the female skeleton was examined more closely in a lab, an arrowhead was found within the rib cage.
D) New research in physical sociology shows that women in peripheral parts of the mediaeval christian world sometimes fought alongside men as early as the fourteenth century.
E) Numismatic and metallurgical research of metal artifacts found throughout the burial ground shows a strong indication of thirteenth century activity and signs of armed conflict nearby.
