According to the reading and lecture, Archaeologists have been trying to study how the great buildings of Chaco Canyon were used. The author of the article provides three theories to point out the functions of the buildings. The lecturer, however, dispute all theories. His position is that, the hypothesis is not convincing enough. Hence, do not hold water.
Firstly, the author of the article suggest that the structure was mainly used for residential purpose. The author points that the architectural structures used for the buildings were similar to that of "apartment building," a building known for inhabitation by humans. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He argues that, although it has an outer structure similar to apartment buildings, the inferior quality has a contrasting look. He notes that a fireplace would be needed for the families to cook. However, most of these buildings had about 10 fireplaces despite the numerous rooms present.
Furthermore, the author propounds that the buildings could have served as a storage house for food supplies. Emphasizing that the great nature of the house would have made it a great place to store grain maize, which can last for a long period. This argument is refuted by the lecturer. He asserts that the point is untenable, as there is no evidence to prove this. No research studies have shown remnants of large containers or spilled maize. Therefore, the argument doesn't hold water.
Finally, the author states that the buildings could have been used for ceremonial occasions. He stated that the presence of discarded and broken pots at the mound formed by a pile of old materials indicated a sign of festive ceremonies in the buildings. In contrast, the lecturer maintains that the pots were not the only materials found, as other materials such as the presence of building materials which does not correlate to the place being served as a ceremonial were also found. Consequentially, leading to an unwarranted assumption about the place being used for festive ceremonies.
