Based on the given materials, the article as well as the lecture, discuss the settlements of Chaco Canyon and its great houses’ functions. The author states that several hypotheses are explaining how the buildings were used. That being said, the lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate these hypotheses.
Initially, the author says that first theory explains that Chaco houses are analogues to apartment buildings at Taos, and every room was a residence for a family. However, the lecturer explains that this cannot be true owing to the fact that only around ten fireplaces existed, and they were not adequate for more than one hundred families who lived there. Thus Chaco houses could not have been residential.
Second, the writer proclaims that Chaco buildings may have been used to store food supplies such as grain maize, which could be saved without spoiling, and the size of the structure was large enough to satisfy this purpose. Yet again, the speaker underscores that never have found researchers any traces or container of grains in excavations. Therefore, this theory cannot be correct.
The final point of contention between the reading and listening passages is the theory saying that Chaos houses were cast for ceremonies functions. The author thinks the theory is correct owing to the broken pots which have been found in Pueblo Alto. On the other hand, the speaker explains that a lot of structural materials among which are sands, stone, and constructional tools, have been found there, as well as the broken pots, so the broken pots might have been used by construction workers and be merely regular trashes.
