TPO 33

The reading specifies that there are three theories that prove the meaning of the carved stone balls( a curious type of artifact). However, the professor explains that the theories are not convincing and provide some evidence and refute all the described points.
First of all, the author states that the carved stone ball used as weapons in hunting or fighting. Moreover, some of the balls have a hole in them and many have grooves on the surface and it is possible people use this hole to swing the stone around or throw it. Nevertheless, the speaker opposes the idea by saying that there are not science founding in using this stone for mentioned purposes. Also, many of the stone balls were broken and cracked but the surface of them was well preserved and showing no damage. Thus, if the stone balls used for hunting, the surface of them must be damage.
Second, based on the reading, the stone balls have a uniform size (70 mm in diameter) and it is plausible that the carved stone balls were used as a primitive system of weights and people us it to measure quantities of grain or other food. Conversely, the lecturer asserts that the mass of carved stone balls was not the same and their texture and density differ from each other. Furthermore, it is a crude possibility that it used for measurement.
Third, according to the reading, the carved stone balls have complex and elaborate designs and it served a social purpose for their owner. In contrast, the mark of many carved stone balls is extremely simple. Additionally, archaeologist did not find this stone in a grave and because of that, it is unlikely people use this stone for stated goals.
