The reading and the lecture are both about the artifacts found in Scotland, carved stone balls. The author of the reading notices some evidence in order to elaborate their function in the past while the lecturer casts doubt the claims made in the article as the following reasons.
First of all, the author believes that the mentioned discoveries were being used in regard to fighting and hunting. In addition, some holes on them have been found in relation to proving the author's idea. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She thinks that any weapons utilized in that time had some signs such as wave whereas these clues have not been observed in the stone balls. Moreover, the surfaces of them are so clear and soft without having symbols of fighting.
Secondly, the author contends that these objects must have been used for weighing and measuring quantities including grain and food. The lecturer refutes this argument. She says that the stones consisted of three distinctive materials such as sand, green and cord; consequently, each of them has different weight. Thus they were inconvenient for measuring.
Eventually, the author points out that the carved stones illustrate useful evidence for proving social goals. Furthermore, the carves on them show social information of their owners. The woman on the lecture, on the other hand, has inconsistent opinions from the reading. She suggests, the simplicity of carves on the stones contradicts the standpoint of author. Besides that, none of the stone balls have been buried near the graves of high rank of community while they buried with their most important possession.
