The lecturer disputes the author's suggested theories about the uses of carved stones balls, artifacts discovered during the Neolithic period. He casts doubt about these claims and argues that they did not serve the purposes mentioned.
First, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that the stones were used as weapons by the Neoliolithic people. He contends that there is no clue to show that they were used this way because they do not have any cracks on their bodies. Moreover, non of the artifacts discovered have any broken pieces which indicates that were used for fighting or hunting.
Second, according to the author the curved stones may have been used for weighing traded objects because they are similar in size. Again, the lecturer find this idea debatable. He contend by saying that because the curved stones are made of different material, they might have different densities which accordingly means different weights. As a result, they cannot be used for weighing.
Finally, the author argues that the curved stones have different patterns. As a result, they might have been used as personal items to show the social status. The lecturer refutes this claims by saying that because the designs were simple, it is not likely they have been used this way. Besides those items were not buried with their owners which is usually a typical thing to do for people in that era.
