The reading and the speaker discussing about the purpose of the stone balls but in very contrast way. The speaker refutes the each points made in the reading passage by giving some kind reasonable statements.
Firstly, reading passage says that stone balls was used a weapon for hunting because it has well defined holes and grooves on it, grooves helps to attach the cord to the stone so that person can rotate or swing the balls as he likes for hunting but the lecturer contrast this point by stating that, if, it used for hunting then should have axes but it does not have it . Moreover, most of the balls were broken off in to even pieces.
Secondly, reading passage explains that it might be used for measurement because all the balls are 70 mm in size, so they might have used to weigh the grain and other products. But, again professor refutes this point by saying that even though size of the balls are same, still the density of the balls are different from each other, ranging from feather weight to heavy weight. So it might not be used measurement purpose.
Thirdly, reading passage suggests that it could be used for the social status because it has specific curve on the stone and they might have used this for opposing party or utilitarian. But the speaker refuses this point by stating that, if it so, this valuable things should be buried with stone owner, but there is no evidence says that they found the stone balls in the domes or gravy yard so it could not be reason of social status of stone owner.
To sum up, whatever reading passage says like it could be for the purpose of weapon, measurement and social status but the speaker refutes these all above statements by giving some logical reasons.
