The author expresses three functions of the Chaco Canyon, in New Mexico in the American Southwest, including residential place, food storage place and a place for holding ceremonial events. The professor, on the other hand refutes all these three functions by providing the following statements.
First of all, huge number of rooms of the Chaco Canyon, is represented as a proof of its residential function which is mentioned in the article. According to the lecture, although from outside the Chaco Canyon looks like Native American apartments , from inside, there are not as much as fireplaces suitable for housing hundreds of residents. In some floors, there are only 10 fireplaces which can serve 10 families and might not be suitable for hundreds of people. Therefore, how this huge number of people can cook in the Chaco Canyon without enough fireplaces.
Secondly, author claims that the Chaco Canyon might use for grain maize storage. This hypothesis is also refused by the professor, mentioning that there is not any traces of grain maize in the Chaco Canyon building. Moreover, storage containers are not found in the Chaco Canyon structure. Hence, this function of the Chaco Canyon is also rebutted by the professor.
Finally, professor states that the Chaco Canyon cannot be used for ceremonial events, the function which is mentioned in the text. The reason, professor raised is that besides broken pots which were found in the deposits of the mound, there are other materials too. These include construction materials, such as stones and sands and the broken pots might be from the construction workers who threw away their pots when they finished their food. Therefore, deposits of broken pots cannot be the firm evidence of holding a huge and crowded ceremonies in the Chaco Canyon, the theory which is stated in the text.
In conclusion, professor disagrees with the hypothesis of the usage of Chaco Canyon, mentioned by the author including residential purposes, food storage and ceremonial places.
