Carved stone balls
The reading passage and the lecturer both discuss carved stone balls. The reading claims that there are some theories about these stone balls. However, the lecturer believes that the theories mentioned in the reading are not convincing and presents some evidence to refute them all.
To begin with, the reading argues that the carved stone balls were used as a weapon in hunting or fighting. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that in ancient times, people had used another weapon such as arrow in hunting or fighting. In addition, these carved stone balls did not have damaged because if these stone balls were used in hunting or fighting, they would have been damaged.
Furthermore, the author holds up the fact that these carved stone balls were used such as part of the primitive system of measures. Therefore, they could have been used as standard weights to measure quantities of materials. On contrast, the speaker underlines the fact that it is true that these carved stone balls have the same shape but the material of these balls had different from each other. In other words, the density of stones was different and they could not use to measure quantities of materials.
Finally, the reading passage asserts that the carved stone balls were as a social propose and social status. But, the professor dismisses this issue due to the fact when an important person died; his or her social status was buried with her or him. However, in grave, archaeologists did not find any carved stone balls.
