TPO-integrated writing(Chaco Canyon)
The reading and the listening are both about great houses which are found around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. The author of the reading believes that there are 3 possible explanations about how they were used. The lecturer challenges the statements made by the author. He is of the opinion that none of these three theories is correct.
First of all, the author suggests that these structures were used as a residence for a larger amount of people. It is mentioned that they are very similar to the famous apartment building at Taos where people have lived for a long period of time. This argument is challenged by the Lecturer. He says that if these structures were used as a residence, there would definitely have a larger amount of fireplaces than they actually do. Furthermore, he argues that the largest of the house contains only a minute fireplaces, even though it was big enough to fit more than a hundred families.
Secondly, the writer contends after excavation that they could have been used to store grain maze for a long time. The article notes that the size of the house was suitable for this reason. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by asserting that researchers have found no leftover grain, or container it was kept in. He elaborates on this by mentioning that if the great house were used to store food, there could definitely be a sign of both of these.
Finally, it is stated in the article that the houses would have been used as ceremonial centers. The author establishes that an enormous mound which contained a large number of broken pots has been found by archaeologists. The lecturer, on the contrary, posits that mound contained other building materials along with broken pots. He puts forth the idea that mound was merely trash left behind when the house was being constructed and therefore, it indicates that the houses were not used for ceremonial purposes.
In conclusion, the lecturer successfully challenges the statements made by the author.
