I went for the easiest blank first, which is the second blank. It mentioned "scientific knowledge as well as cultural...", so I selected understanding of the answer E. Is my approach to this question wrong?

"The successful .... of an archaeological site requires scientific knowledge as well as cultural...."
Meaning: What we must remember here is that to do something successful archaeologically one must have scientific knowledge as well as cultural know-how or appreciation. Best to attack blank 1 in my opinion since it forms a logical backdrop for blank 2.
A- Successful evolution of archaeological site requires cultural awareness makes little sense. How can site evolve with cultural awareness? Incorrect.
B- Successful revalation of site makes sense but how is this related to cultural depth? Moreover cultural depth to me is ambigious.
C- Reconstruction of archaeological site requires cultural sensitivity. Correct since one will be able to know what artifacts are important which will aid the reconstruction.
D- Cultural aesthetics is an ambigious term.
E- Synthesis means combination or union. Combination or union of an archaeological site makes little sense to me.
