Function of the buildings in Chaco Canyon’s settlement.
The article states that, despite there is not a generalized agreement among scholars about the function of the buildings in Chaco Canyon’s settlement, exist three theories about it. However, the lecturer explains that those ideas are not supported by evidences and refutes each reason, casting doubts in the author’s beliefs.
Firstly, the reading points out that those structures could be used as residential buildings, that could have held hundreds of individuals. Notwithstanding, the professor disproves this idea by stating that, it is true that the exterior look like a residential edifices, but there is not proves of enough bonfires to maintain that number of families. Furthermore, he notices that not only in the largest house found, there was discovered fires capable to support only around ten families living together there, not enough rooms were found for such a large number of people.
The second idea presented by the article argue that those houses were used to store food supplies, like maize. The orator contradicts this point saying that there is not evidence that support this affirmation. Moreover, in the researches carried out there, were not found rests of containers or any other prove that hold this position.
Finally, the third theory presented by the writer says that those places were used as a ceremonial center. Nonetheless, the orator remarks the weakness of this point, noting that, again, there are not evidences that support it. All the materials found in the place mentioned are more like residues of the construction’s process, that those expected in a religious place, owing to they are fundamentally sand, stones, and rests of pots that could be utilized in building tasks.
