TPO 33-integrated writing task
The author states some theories of the purpose and meaning of carved stone balls that are found in Scotland. As opposed to, the lecturer who counters-argues that viewpoint trying to prove that these three theories do not seem convincing.
First and foremost, the writer mentions that the carved stone balls were weapons used fr hunting or fighting. Actually, in some of them they have found holes and grooves on the surface. On the contrary, the professor cannot disagree more, reasoning that these stone balls were very well-preserved and the surface was very smooth. Therefore, they could have not been used as weapons.
The second argument the author gives is that these stones were used as standard unit of measure. Because, their sizes are so nearly at 70 mm in diameter which means a perfect size for that purpose. Consequently, they have used those as a standard weights to measure quantities of grain or other food. However, the lecturer cannot be more outraged, explaining that these stones are made from different material such as rocks, sand etc. So, their density is very different. As a result, they were not right for standard measuring.
Lastly, on one hand, the passage points out that the carved stone balls served a social purpose as opposed to a practical or utilitarian one. These stones have elaborate designs. Very important people may had own them. Therefore, stones may have marked the important status. Nevertheless, the lecturer declares that none of these stones is found inside the tombs of important figures. So, we cannot say for certain that they played that important role.
Although, the text suggests three theories in supporting the meaning and purpose that stones had, the lecturer believes that none of them are persuasive.
