The material discusses the usage of the Chaco great building. While the reading suggests three theories that could determine the building usage, the listening challenges all these suggestions and says that none of them is convincing
First, the author mentions that Chaco structures could be used for residential. on the other hand, the professor opposes this and states that this building looks like native Americans' apartments just from outside. The lecture adds that there is a doubt that this building was used for residential when they look at the building from inside. the speaker explains that if people habitat these buildings, they supposed to have many fireplaces for daily cooking. However, the listening claims that in the largest Chaco building, there are just ten fireplaces, while the rooms of the house are very big that could fit a hundred families. Consequently, these buildings could not be used for residential.
Second, the writer states that these buildings could be storage. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this and points out that the large empty rooms in the building could be a storage, but they do not contain maize containers. The professor adds that if these buildings were storage, it is supposed to have maize on the ground or maize remaining containers.
Third, the author posits that the Chaco building could be used to celebrate ceremonies. Conversely, the speaker contradicts this and contends that besides the broken pots, there are building material and construction tools. The professor explains that all of this stuff might be trash when the Chaco structures were built. In addition to that, the lecturer states that pots might be from the meals of the construction workers. The speaker concludes that finding these pots is not good evidence that these buildings were used for special ceremonies.
