TPO5 Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific theories discussed the reading passage.
The reading explains about the three possible usages of the settlements of Chaco Canyon, which are massive buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories high. However, the professor says each of the usage stated in the passage contradicts the evidence found in the spot.
In the first theory, the passage states that the settlements were residential and hundreds of people lived in each of them because the outside structures of them are similar to those of apartment buildings in Southwest societies. But the professor refutes this idea by saying that the inside structures contradict to this hypothesis. He says there should have been many fire places for daily cooking if many people had lived there, but there are not so many fire places.
In the second theory, the article says that the settlements were used for storing food supplies because the size would be suitable for the purpose. However, again the professor disagree with this hypothesis because if they were used for accumulating foods, remains of big containers would be found from the relics.
In the third hypothesis, the reading says that those houses were used as ceremonial centers because a large number of broken pots were found. However, the professor rebuts this idea by saying that there shouldn't be so much broken pots because if the pots used in the ceremony wouldn't be broken so easily.
To sum up, the professor don't believe that the buildings of Chaco Canyon weren't used for the intentions mentioned in the passage.
