The reading specifies myriad theory which shows the meaning and purpose of carved stone balls which were strange artifact found in the Scotland. The professor, however, claims that the theories are dubious and unconvincing and provides three evidence to refute them all.
First, the passage states that people use stone balls for hunting or fighting. Moreover, some carved stone balls have hole in them and many stone have grooves on the surface. Conversely, the lecturer opposes this point reasoning that if the stone were used for the purposes of hunting and fighting, archaeologists should find crack or broken part on them. Since archaeologists did not see any damage on the surface of stone balls, this proof is not right and true.
Second, based on the reading, another goal of stone balls were to measure grain or other foods which were defined as a primitive weight system. Additionally, the fact that the stone balls have a uniform size suggest their use in the weighting system. In contrast, stone balls mass vary from each other and there exist different type of stone because their texture and density were different. Thus, people could not use them for measurement since their size varied a lot.
Third, the author explains that it is plausible stone balls served a social purpose for their owner because they have elaborate designs. Nevertheless, the professor contradict the idea by saying that few of stone balls have complex design and many of them have an extremely simple mark on them. Also, archaeologists search in the grave and did not find this remarkable stone in them and this shows that this stone use for important stature is unlikely.
