Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage
The reading and lecture are both about the Chaco Canyon settlements in New mexico which has huge buildings with hundreds of people dwelling there. The author of the reading proposes the theories that supported how these houses were used back then. The lecturer disagrees. He mentions that the archeologist’s explanations are not convincing and attacks each of the claims made in the article.
Firstly, the author begins by stating that the Chaco houses were used as a residential home providing enough space for tons of people . In addition, these buildings were identical to native big apartment. The lecturer believes there are flaws in the wrter’s position. He contends that if there were living hundreds of people then why there were few fire places which is sufficient for merely ten families. Thus, the houses are not seem to be residential.
Secondly, according to the reading passage, Chaco houses had features that were applicable for storing grains such as maize. To be more precise, since there were big space it could be used for keeping the crop without any defects on it. The speaker on other hand points out that, there were no any traces of grains spilled on ground. Not only this, if the houses were used to keep crops then why there were not even a single containter. Therefore, it is clear that the buildings were not used for storage purpose.
Finally, the reading passage notes that the apartments were used for ceremonial purpose. There were a evidence of broken pots which was used for some ceromonies found in the extraction of mound. The professor rebuts this argument. He puts forth the idea that the scattered materials could be remained there when constructing large buildings. Hence, it is not applicable to conclude that the buildings were used for ceremonial uses.
As we can see, the author and lecturer holds very conflicting views on the Chaco houses. The speaker effectively challenges the writer’s argument.
