tpo33 carved stone balls
TPO33
In the passage, the author simply claims that there are three theories which can explain the purpose and meaning of the carved stone balls. However, in the lecture, the professor finds that the passage is full of holes and provides evidence to oppose from all three aspects.
To begin with, in the passage, the author states that the carved stone balls were used as weapons in hunting and fighting. Nevertheless, in the lecture, the professor indicates that the balls would be signed of weapon use if they truly were used as weapons in that time. What's more, the surface of the balls were well preserved, so it is difficult to make judge that the balls were used as weapons.
The second aspect the author mentions in the passage is that the carved stone balls were used as part of a primitive system of weights and measures. Conversely, in the lecture, the professor makes the point that the balls’ sizes were various. Besides, they were also made of diverse types of stone so that they were different in the density. In this way, it is not convincing that they were used of measuring.
Another evidence the professor adopts to refute the passage is social purpose. In the passage, the author claims that the elaborate carving stones suggest that they may mark social status. On the contrary, in the lecture, the professor thinks that some balls are extremely too simple to be the status of the wealth. What's more, in that time, high-ranking people usually were buried with their possessions, but the balls were never found in tombs.
To sum up, the author may ignore some fundamental factors and conclusion should be seriously discussed again.
