TPO33

What were the functions of carved stone balls, carved from different types of stones, is the focus of both the writer and the professor. In the writing. Three uses, including weapons, standard weights, and social status markers, have been elaborated. The professor, however. Claims that these purposes are not convincing.
As opposed to the writer's idea that carved stone balls could be hunting weapons, the professor states that they lacked signs of wear supposed to appear on weapons. She advances the theory by saying that common weapons generally show wear, for instance, having pieces broken off, but the surfaces of carved stone balls did not show wear or damage.
The professor continues to discredit the writer's assertion that carved stone balls. Uniform in sizes. Could be used to weigh and measure, by examining the fact that though having the same sizes, they were different in masses, making it impossible for them to be standard weights. In detail. She points out that carved stone balls were made of different types of stones, with distinct densities: consequently, they, in the uniform sizes, varied in weight and could not be adopted as weighing systems.
It is the professor's third argument that some balls' simple patterns and the lack of evidence as possessions indicates that they were not social status markers, which contradicts the view of the writer that they, with intricate designs, could mark their owners' social status. To explore deeper, the professor contends that admittedly. Some balls were carved with elaborate designs. But others had markings that were too simple for the balls to be status symbols; moreover. Unlike possessions, which people with high ranks were usually buried with, carved stone balls were not found in tombs or graves, showing that they were not possessions to represent social status.
