TPO-33 - Integrated Writing Task Carved stone balls are a curious type of artifact found at a number of locations in Scotland. They date from the late Neolithic period, around 4,000 years ago. They are round in shape; they were carved from several types o

The reading and the lecturer discussing the purposes of the stone balls but in vary contradict ways. The speaker try to opposes the all statements which made in the reading passages.

Firstly, reading says that it might be used as a weapon because there is hole in that stone and it has groove which support the cord to attach to the stone so that they can swing the stone from the other end and can be used as a weapon. But the lecture refutes this point by suggesting that earlier they used the axe and arrow fighting, If, that case the stone must be broken but there was broken stone that area.

Secondly, reading claims that it may be used as standard weighing object because all it stone are uniformly 70 mm in diameter, so, they might used it for standard unit of measurement. Further, they did lot of trading, so, in order weight grain and the other food source they might use it. Again, speaker argues this point by saying that even though it is same in size it's mass varying from on stone to other. And, they made stone different kind material like sand stone and queen stone. So, they did not use for weighing.

Thirdly, reading states that it could be the valuable things specially for well social status people and may used as symbol of their status because whenever they want impractical to oppose or utilitarian they use these stones. Still, professor refuses this statements by stating that, if, that case they should be found in burial area but was not found there. Moreover, stones carved designed are very simple, so, it is not prestige for them.

To sum up, the reading says that it could used as weapon, measuring object or status symbol but the speaker refutes all these statement with reasonable arguments.
