The reading discusses several theories about practical applications of carved stone balls, found in Scotland, in the lives of people of that time. However, the lecturer finds the ideas dubious and casts that on each theory proposed by the reading passage.
First, the other argues that these carved stone balls might have been used as a means of hunting or fighting and defending against enemies. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that these stones could not have been used for these purposes since it has no cracks and fractures and the surface is well preserved. If it were used for this purpose, it would certainly be damaged.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that carved stone balls might have been used for measurement of food or other quantities. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that although these stones have the same size, they do not maintain the same weight. So, it is not reasonable to think that they could be applied for weighting purposes.
Finally, the reading passage asserts that these ornamented stones might have had social aims and might have determined their owner social level. In contrast, the speaker dismisses the issue because the patterns carved on the balls were elementary. Moreover, whenever an eminent member of society died, they will be buried with their possessions. As these stones were not in their tombs or graves, it is not possible that they were used as a tool for distinguishing the community level.
