As early as the twelfth century A.D., the settlements of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in the American Southwest were notable for their "great houses," massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories hig

The reading and the conversation both are about the uses of stone buildings. The writing proposes three suggestion regarding the uses of the building. The lecturer challenges this three provided theory by giving proper evidence.Furthermore the lecturer states that none of the theories are correct.

First of all, The author suggest that the building were intially used for residential purpose by the new mexican people. It is mentioned that they lookalike to apartment buildings. The person in the conversation rejects this claim by stating that the building cannot be residential place as it does not have enough fireplaces. Moreover it is mentioned that the fire places found in the archaeological site provides evidence that only around lived in the place. Therefore lecturer dismisses the suggestion of buildings used for residential area

Secondly, the arguments states that the buildings were used for storage purposes they further explain this theory by stating that the green maize prevalent at that time had to be stored somewhere and they say it was stored in large halls at that time.The lectures disagree this claims by providing evidence which puts forth point that the green maize evidence were never found in the particular region further elaborating thi s point they did not find any containers in that regions and hence refutes the claim.

Finally, the text gives a third proposal which mentions that the buildings were used for ceremonial purposes also gives examples saying they used it perform to ceremonial rituals and then threw the pots to trash.The lectures refutes the claim of using the hall for ceremonial purposes by stating that they also found many other artificates with the pots, They also found construction materials such as sand and pots and thus makes the proposal seem fallacious.
