stone balls
The reading indicates that stone balls have been formed in round shape for several purposes and it lists three factors supporting these theories. However, the speaker finds all the ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute all three factors.
First, the author argues that they were used as weapons for hunting or fighting. due to the holes and some grooves at the surface of them. In contrast, the speaker debuts this idea by standing that arrows were used as the weapons too, and very well carved of the stone balls does not damage to use for fighting or hunting.
Second, the reading passage points out that those stones balls were used as a rudimentary system of weights to measure how much the weights of the grains and other foods are. On the contrary, the speaker casts doubt on this fact and contends that the size of them may be the same but because of the different density among sands, grains and court sites, their weights are various. Consequently, two ball stones with the same size have different wights. Due to this reason, the speakers reject this theory.
Last but not least, the author proposes that they have another different utility. its skillful design was marked by the social status of their owners. On the other hand, the speaker dismisses this reason too and asserts that some balls have a statistic symbol, hence when the high-ranking people died they buried with their possessions. In other words, no ball found in tombs or graves.
