TPO 33

The lecture and the reading discuss some stone balls that found in Scotland about 4000 years ago. Although the passage claims that these stone balls made for specific purposes, the speaker refutes this idea through several reasons which I will describe in this reporter.

First and foremost, the passage points out that the stone balls may have been using for hunting as a weapon. The lecturer, in contrast, rejects this by claiming that if the stone balls had been using as weapons, they might neede hand access or sign to wear. Also, we can not find some sign that shows this stone used as a weapon like crack. Researchers only found some small crack or damage to them. Hence, they may not use as a weapon.

Furthermore, unlike the passage which state that stone balls may have used for weighing and measuring, the professor argues that these stones did not have the same weight. They only have a uniform size, but the balls have different masses. Because they made with a different type of stone like sandstone and greenstone, and they have different density. Therefore, some stones are heavier than the other stone with a uniform size. Therefore, they would not use for weighting.

Finally, although the reading passage says that the crave stone balls may have been used as a social purpose to show a practical or utilitarian one. The speaker disagrees by mentioning that some balls found with some pattern, but these patterns are extremely simple. Also, she adds that when an important person died, they burned with them all the position. So we just found these stones in the grave, but we found it in other places.
