TPO 05 As early as the twelfth century A.D., the settlements of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in the American Southwest were notable for their "great houses," massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories high.
The reading and lecture are both about houses of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. The author of the reading believes that these structure building were used for three purposes. However, the lecturer casts doubts about the claims made in the article, saying that his arguments are inaccurate compared to the facts.
First of all, the author points out that the building was a residential compound. The article notes that it can cater 100 of people and resembles the apartment building at Taos, Mexico. The point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that the outside facade looks like native american apartment building, but the inside structure are doubtful he said that if this house can accommodate families it should have many fire places for daily cooking and preparation of meal. However, evidence show that few fireplace was installed in the house.
Secondly, the author contends that it can store food items. The articles establishes that it can store food item like maize which can be stored for longer period without spoiling. The lecture rebuts this argument. He suggests that there are many large empty rooms in the Chaco Canyon. He elaborates on this by mentioning that there are no evidence to support that maize were stored and no large container are seen upon excavation.
Finally, the author states that the building was used for ceremonial rites. The article depicts that in Pueblo Alto, upon digging many materials are exhumed such as broken pots and items that are used for meal preparation are seen. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that in mound Pueblo alto only consist of large construction materials which are sand, stone, building and construction materials, thus there is no possibility that ceremonial activities took place here. He puts forth the idea that the mound that is there came form the construction workers regular trash being thrown.
