The article of the reading is about how the people of Chaco Canyon used their buildings and provides three reasons to support it. However, the professor of the lecture explains that the reasons are not convincing and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading states that the Chaco structures are purely residential. The professor cast dought this point by stating that the building might look like residential from outside but inside does not looks like that. He also states that there is no fireplace in these buildings. He also refutes this theory by saying that there might be a fireplace for 10 people but this does not enough for a large group of people.
Second, the article claims that the structures are used to store food supplies. However, the professor contends that it might seem plausible but there is no supporting evidence on this. He also states that the researcher does not found any trash on those structures. To support his claim he says the excavator did not find any container that that would help to hold these foods.
Third, the reading avers that these houses are used as ceremonial centers. But, the lecture opposes this point by saying that building materials and construction tools are found in these sites. Furthermore, he states that excavators found trash of construction and different kinds of pots that might be used by the labor of the construction.
In sum, thee reading provided three theories to support his claim, but the lecture successfully refutes those claims.
