The passage and lecture are both about the purpose and meaning of carved stone balls which rae found in Scotland. The writer claims three theories to elaborats on meaning and purpose of these stons. The lecturer casts doubt on claims made in the articls. She states there is no meaning or purpose for thses balls' First, the writer mentions, theses stones used as weapons in hunting or fighting. The professor refutesb this theory. She says, if these curved stones used for hunting or fighting purpode it should become wearor broken to many pecies from daily uses. But evidences showed that stones are smooth and intact. This prove that these balls did not use as weapons.
Second, the author argues, these carved stones used as a system of weight measures. This is because, they had a equal weight. This argument refuted by lecturer. She elaborates on, these stones were made of different materials that have different desities. we can find to stone with the same size but different weight. because they have different densities. As a results they can not be used as a measurment device.
Finally, the passage says, thses stones have a social purpose as opposed to practical or utilitarian one. The professor in the other hand states, these curved stones did not have any social value. This is because , They made with very simple design. Fuethermore there no evidence of buried of these stone in the graves with their owners like any stuff with great value. So these curved stones did not have any marked that they had any importance to their owners.
