The passage and lecture are arguing about the function of the carved stone balls. The author lists out three possible theories to explain this matter. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that all these theories are unconvincing and she challenges proposed theories one by one.
First, the passage author mentions that, these stone objects were used for fighting and hunting. In contrast, the lecturer refuses this point and she states that the other weapons like arrows had sing for hunting while there is no sign on these stones. Therefore, these objects were not used as weapons.
Second, the passage states another theory; these stone objects were used for system of weight. The lecturer, however, holds an opposing view and she asserts that these stone objects were not proper for using system of weight, since they are made of different stones. In better words, although these stone objects are the same shape, they have different weight since they are made of different stone with different densities. Therefore, these the same shaped stones were not the same weight which is improtant for system of weight.
Finally, based on the passage, these stone objects had had a social purpose. On the other hand, the lecturer rebuts this theory and she points out the disigns of these stones were too simple for using as social marked. Furthermore, there was a custom that, when a person died her/his social mark was buried with her/him, while none of these object have been found in tomb or graves. Hence, these object were not uses as social marks.
