Chaco Canion great houses

The Reading and the lecture argued about the theories of how the great houses of the Chaco Canyon people considered great houses for thier big size and hight building and been used as residential, food storage or maybe as ceremonial centers. The three theories presented in the reading has been questioned by the lecture.

First, the reading said these houses were dwelled by hundreds of people because of their great size and they were purely residential. The lecture opposes this theory saying that these houses inside cast doubt of how many people live inside. He claims that if many people live in these great houses, they will need a fireplace to meet their needs. However, the findings did not find these fireplaces which contradict the theory of these houses being residential.

Second, the reading propose another theory that these houses were used for their large rooms as food storages like maize for example, or grains. The profesor in the lecture refutes that, saying that even the idea is blauseable, however, the excavation did not find any evidence of spilled maize to support the use of these houses as a storage for food.

Lastly, the reading mentions a third theory of the utilization of these houses as ceremonial centers. The excavation finding of lots of the pots inside these houses has reinforce this theory. The lectuer , however, contradict that. the professor says that the finding of the large guantities of the broken pots might refer to the trash that has been throwen by the construction workers. This based on the finding of construction subtances and materials like sand, that gives an impression that theses pots was not related to the ceremonies and might simply be the trash that had been left by the construction workers.
