The professor in the lecture does not agree with the possible theories provided in the passage regarding the usage of massive stone buildings in Chaco Canyon, Mexico, in the twelfth century AD. The author has given the three potential utility of these large buildings, he posits that these building could have been used either of these three purposes such as for residential use, for the place to store the Maize, and the third is the use of houses as a ceremonial center. The lecture gives proper explanation to refute these supposed usages of the houses.
Firstly, the professor does not agree with the concept that these houses were used as a residential place, and hundreds of people lived. Since the article claims that it these have so much space to incorporate many families similarly like the present time apartment buildings in Taos, New Mexico. However, lecture claims that from outside there are chances that it'll look like that these houses were used for the living purposes, but to feed this enormous amount of people they needed fire to prepare the food. To meet this requirement, it requires many fireplaces, but only a few have been found. The estimation is that food could be made only for around ten people from each fireplace. The professor claims, citing above evidence, that those building could not have been used for the residence.
The socond theory that these houses could have been used to store food supplies such as Maize. The professor in the lecture doesn't support this theory stating that there are not many pieces of evidence found in the excavation. He gives the example of the remains of the maize grains. He says that if these places were used to store the food supply, there must be remains of these grains would have been found, which were rare in the excavation. The second example he gives that to store the food supply it must require large vessels which weren't found in the excavation — illustrating the above reasoning the lecturer unsubstantiated the possible usage of these houses as a store.
Finally, the lecture dismisses the theory that posits the usage of these houses as ceremonial centers. The reading claims that in excavations, a large number of broken pots has been found which depicts that people gathered at Pueblo Alto for the special occasion. Nonetheless, lecture posits that besides the pots, there are lots of other materials have been found which include sand, stone, building tools which prove that these buildings were not used for the ceremony.
