Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage
The reading and lecture are both about the Chaco Canyon settlements in New mexico which is also referred as great houses. Although there are not any evidences, the author of the reading proposes the theories that supports how these houses were used back then. The lecturer disagrees with the explanation. He mentions that the archeologist’s viewpoints are not convincing and attacks each of the claims made in the article.
Firstly, the author begins by stating that the Chaco houses are used as a residential home for tons of people . In addition, these buildings are identical to native big apartment. The lecturer believes there are flaws in the wrter’s position. He contends that is the houses has enough space for hundreds of people then why there are few fire places which is sufficient for merely ten families. Thus, the houses are not seem to be residential.
Secondly, according to the reading passage, Chaco houses has features that are applicable for storing grains such as maize. To be more precise, since the space is big it can be used for keeping the crop and most importantly without any defects on it. The speaker on other hand points out that, there are no any traces of grains spilled on ground. Not only this if the houses are used to keep crops then why there are not even a single containter for it. Therefore, it is clear that the buildings are not used for storage purpose.
Finally, the reading passage notes that the apartments are used for ceremonial purpose. There are some evidence of broken pots found in the extraction of mound which might be of special ceremony. The professor rebuts this argument. He puts forth the idea that the scattered materials might remain there during constructing large buildings. Hence, it is not applicable to conclude that the buildings are used for ceremonial uses.
As we can see, the author and lecturer holds very conflicting views on the Chaco houses. The speaker effectively challenges the writer’s argument.
