Use of buildings of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico
The reading and the writing are about the use of buildings of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. More specifically, in regard to passages, the author puts forth the idea that buildings are used for residential, storage, or ceremonial functions, and supports his position by providing three arguments. However, the speaker was quick enough to point out that there are some serious flaws with the points made by author, and address, in detail, the trouble with each point in the reading text.
To begin with, the author mentions that buildings are used for residential purposes with home for hundreds of people. Further, he adds that building looked like large apartments which can house many people. Nevertheless, the speaker contradicts this argument by pointing out that if hundred of people have lived in those buildings than there need to be fireplaces in that buildings which were used for cooking. Additionally, he says that there were just ten fireplaces, which were few for people living in hundreds of rooms.
Secondly, the author claims that these huge structures were used for storing food. Next, he explains that maize which is a long-lasting crop can be stored easily which can result in supplies of food for longer period of time. Yet, the speaker challenges the claim by revealing that there were no traces of spilled maize or remains for large containers used to store maize were found during excavations.
Finally, the author wraps up his argument by positing that these building were used as ceremonial centers. Moreover, in the article, he states that there huge deposits were remains of large pots found during excavations which might have resulted as discarded pots after ceremonial functions. Not Surprisingly, in contrast to author's argument, the speaker says that in addition to discarded pots there were other building materials such as sand, stone which were also part of those huge heaps. He further elaborates it by saying that these huge heaps were from materials left out after building were built, and pots might be trash from construction worker's left overs.
To sum up, the author and the lecturer has conflicting views regarding the use of building of Chaco Canyon. It is clear that they will have trouble coming to a common ground on this.
