Both reading passage and lecture talk about settlements of New Mexico's Chaco Canyon in the American southwest. The passage gives 3 possible theories of how these buildings could have been used. However, the lecture contradicts all three.
The first theory suggests that the building could have been used for residential purposes. This suggestion is based on supporters' observation that similar architectural structures were found in Southwest societies, residential. However, lecture disputes this because, Even though the buildings' outer structure is similar to residential buildings, there were not enough fireplaces to cook for the number of people the building can host. For instance, there was a place for 100 families, but only 10 places for cooking fire is found.
The second theory suggests that these buildings would have been used for food storage for grain maize. This suggestion is based on the observation that places were large enough to store. However, the lecture-based on excavation results says that there were no maize containers found in the building and no spilled grains, arguing that the building was not used for food storage.
The third theory suggests that the building could have been used for ceremonial gatherings. This suggestion is based on an observation that other native American cultures broke the food container after the ceremony. Broken pots were found in this building, which leads to the suggestion of similar ceremonies occurring in the building. However, lecture disputes with the evidence that there were other materials like sandstone, construction waste, and other trash were found in the building. It suggests these kinds of materials are not necessary for a ceremonial event, and thus, the building could have been just a thrash collecting place.
In conclusion, the passage explains three theories that suggest three probable usages of Chaco Canyon buildings. However, the lecture disputes each of them with evidence against all three.
