Essay topics:

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 high. Archaeologists have been trying to determine how the buildings were used. While there is still no universally agreed upon explanation, there are three competing theories.

One theory holds that the Chaco structures were purely residential, with each housing hundreds of people. Supporters of this theory have interpreted Chaco great houses as earlier versions of the architecture seen in more recent Southwest societies. In particular, the Chaco houses appear strikingly similar to the large, well-known "apartment buildings" at Taos, New Mexico,in which many people have been living for centuries.

A second theory contends that the Chaco structures were used to store food supplies. One of the main crops of the Chaco people was grain maize, which could be stored for long periods of time without spoiling and could serve as a long-lasting supply of food. The supplies of maize had to be stored somewhere, and the size of the great houses would make them very suitable for the purpose.

A third theory proposes that houses were used as ceremonial centers. Close to one house, called Pueblo Alto, archaeologists identified an enormous mound formed by a pile of old material. Excavations of the mound revealed deposits containing a surprisingly large number of broken pots. This finding has been interpreted as evidence that people gathered at Pueblo Alto for special ceremonies. At the ceremonies, they ate festive meals and then discarded the pots in which the meals had been prepared or served. Such ceremonies have been documented for other Native American cultures.

The passage accounts for three theories that archaeologists hypothesize about using of great houses were settled in New Mexico and lecture rejects all the theories by evidence. together, the two would have their logical reasons that I explain in the following paragraph.
To begin with, a first theory which was implied by author discussed purely residential and using these house as a settlement for many people. on the contrary, narrator pass out this idea and he thought houses, in contrast, are primarily residential and it is impossible to housing many people.
the second theory was mentioned by passage writer is about using as storing source for food. he believed that the size of great houses would make them very suitable for this purpose. on the other hand, the professor disagrees with that idea and declare that food may spoil and it did not use as store food supplies.
The last theory acclaim that ceremonies celebrate there and a lot of broken pots will be proof of it. narrator pass out that theory very easy and said those broken pots could be trash.

together, the two would have undeniable reasons, but I agree with the author because I think he is right for an example third theory its evidence was coherent but professor rejected it
