The reading passage talks about massive stone buildings, “great houses” of Chaco Canyon settlements from twelfth century AD in New Mexico and discusses three main potential ways these builders were used for by providing corresponding evidence. However, the professor claims these evidences are quite insufficient and unsupportive.
To begin with, the author suggests that these “great houses” were used as residential places for many people. The professor refutes this proposal by mentioning that although the buildings resembled modern apartments from outsides, the insides of these are not supportive of this. He goes on to say that the buildings contained only few fire places which helped people cook while the large number of rooms suggested many more families which creates a serious discrepancy.
Secondly, the professor casts doubt on the claim that these were used as grain maize storage units as mentioned in the article. He explains this by highlighting that excavations have not revealed any traces of maize or maize containers which was very highly unlikely if at all any maize were stored.
Finally, the article brings up that evidence of broken pots near the one of these great houses, Pueblo Alto suggests that these were used as ceremonial centres. On the contrary, the professor expresses disapproval to this idea. Further, he states that not only broken pots but lot of the things like building material remains like sand, stone and construction equipment were also found which implies that this was used a trash sink in general for all kinds of things.
