The lecturer argues that none of evidence supports the ideas that a drought is the main reason of Anasazi migration. This contradicts the reading passage’s claim that Anasazi moved to their homes because of a drought.
First for most, the lecturer asserts that the signs of malnutrition from Anasazi bones do not mean anything. To be specific, health issues related to poor diet were common in Anasazi civilization regardless of crop yields. This is because most of harvest were endowed to religious figures for ceremonial purposes. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that the discovery of bones that show signs of malnutrition suggest that a drought caused the migration
Next, the lecturer contends that the Anasazi did not have plan to return their homelands when the drought was over. Shortly after the Anasazi left, the dry period ended and the climate reverted to normal. If they had left because of the drought, they would have come back then. This counters the reading passage’s claim that the state of their settlements manifestly shows that the Anasazi were reacting to dry spell.
Finally, the lecturer maintains that the idea that the Anasazi left their homes for adequate water supplies is questionable. For example, some people relocated to Arizona that had little moisture and was not suitable for agriculture. It is unlikely that people fleeing from the drought would choose the region with even harsher conditions. This reputes the reading passage’s claim that the Anasazi left from arid homes to the regions with reliable water resources.
