TPO-33 - Integrated Writing Task
The article brings three theories for revealing the application of stone balls. Nonetheless, the professor puts those factors under question. According to the professor, none of these applications are convincing.
The first usage brought by the passage is that stone balls were weapons, which used for hunting or fighting in the past. However, the lecturer argues that if stone balls were weapons, it was natural that some of them would be cracked or broken off. But there is not any damage on them.
Another theory for stone walls is that they were systems of weights and measures. In contrast, the professor asserts that these stones are not uniform in size. For example, some of them have different weight and density, which shows that they have been made of diverse stones such as green ones. Moreover, in some of them, even 2 balls are not in the same weight. As a result, they could not be a suitable device for measuring.
The final contradiction between the article and the lecturer is whether stone balls served a social purpose or not. The passage agrees that stone balls show the important social status of their owners but the professor contradicts this idea by two reasons. First, the shape of the balls is too simple to prove that they are for social status. Moreover, most of the time high-ranking people are buried with their possession, but no stone balls have been found in their graves.
