The passage and lecture were about the use of the Chaco houses. The passage argues that they were used for three reasons: as a residential center, as a storage for grains, and as a ceremonial center but the lecturer refutes these claims for the following reasons.
Firstly, the lecturer does not think the evidence provided is convincing enough to state that it was used for residential purposes. He says so because the interior configuration is not built large enough to support communities staying there for years. The kitchens in the great houses are not large enough, both in number and size to support their usage to make food for a large number of families. The largest one could support possibly 10 families as opposed to the number of rooms which were enough to house 100 families.
Secondly, the author states that it could have been a building to store grains but the lecturer states that further analysis showed no presence of leftover maize or containers that could have potentially stored maize, to support this claim
Thirdly, the author argues that the mound was solely a pile of old broken pots used to cook and serve food during ceremonies suggesting the house named Pueblo Alto's usage as a ceremonial center but fails to report that it contained other material as well. The lecturer brings to light that these other materials were unused construction material and waste suggesting that it could have just been a trash pile next to the house rather than something significant.
In conclusion, both the author and lecturer share opposing views on the utility of the great houses in the Chaco settlement.
