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 passage and the lecture discuss the theories of how the Chaco Canyon buildings were used. The author states that there could be three explanations of settlements being a residenсe, a storage or a ceremonial centre. The lecture disagrees with each point made in the reading and suggests that despite the logical speculations, there are some dissonances, which make the theories fake.
First of all, the reading passage argues that Chaco structures were built for housing people as they were similar to apartment buildings at Taos. However, the speaker contends that the inside of the accommodation was different and contained few fireplaces, when warmth played a big role in a residence.
Secondly, it is claimed that the building was suitable for storing grain maize because corn does not spoil for long time. The lecturer undermines this point by mentioning that there is no real evidence for supply storage. If it was a warehouse, there would be some traces and containers.
Finally, the article says that mound, formed by discarded pots, shows the ceremonial purpose of the house. In the lecture, the professor disproves this theory by saying that sand, stones, construction tools were also found there and as they are not ritual things, the Chaco structure was most likely to be a garbage storage.
