The material discusses the concept of the main usage of the carved stone balls found in Scotland. While the listening looks at the topic from one perspective, the reading challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage.
Firstly, the reading details specific points regarding to this topic, namely the carved stone balls might be used as weapons in hunting or fighting. Next, they were used for weighting or measurements. Finally, the carved stone balls represented social purposes.
Conversely, the listening challenges the points, one specific contradiction is if the carved stone balls were used as weapons, they should be cracked or broken. However, they preserve well with no damage. In addition to that, they could not be used in the weighting system, because they did not have uniform sizes. They made from different types of stone stand-stone, green-stone, or quartzite. Each type has a different density and a different weight. As a handful of feathers weight less than a handful of rocks. One final point, the carved stone balls did not serve social purposes, because of two-point. First, some of these balls are intricate, while others are very simple to represent status symbols. Second, the Neolithic buried all their possessions with them when they died; however, there are no balls in tombs or graves. Therefore, the balls could not status symbols.
