Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific theories discussed in the reading passage.
The reading and the lecture are both about the settlement of Chaco Canyon in Mexico. The author of the reading suggests three outlines for the purpose of this building usage. However, the lecturer finds these outlines unconvincing and debunks all suggestions made by the author.
First, the writer claims that the structures were used completely for residential. Support for this claim, the similarity between these structures and apartment buildings in Taos. By contrast, the lecturer refutes the claim. He notes that f there was a residential area, there would be fireplaces. Moreover, he mentions that based on evidence there are only ten fireplaces and the rooms are fewer to support one hundred families.
Second, the author argues that the structures were used as storage for food supply. The structures were a great place to store grain maze, preventing it from spoilage for a long time. This argument is dismissed by the lecturer. Based on finding evidence, he notes that the empty places were used for storage, however, there were no discovered maze containers. He also says that there were not great places to store because of the spoiled maze on the floor discovered.
Finally, it is proposed in the reading that archaeologists identified a pile of broken pots near the structures, meaning that the structure was used as ceremonial places. The lecturer, on the other hand, challenges the propositions provided by the author. He posits that there were other materials found such as building materials and construction tools. This evidence shows, the lecturer believes, the site has been used to throw away trash. In better words, It was a trash site and broken pots, also, support this idea.
