The article explains that the building of Chaco house is used for residential purposes, and provides three competing theories. However, the professor expanse that the houses were not use for residential purposes and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading claim that the chaco structure were purely residential. However, the professor says that the inside the house, explicitly cast doubt that it was not use for residential purpose. He says that if the house is used for residential reasons, it would have more fire places for cooking as there were hundreds of people living there.
Second, the article clams that the Chaco house were used to store food. The professor opposes this point by saying that there would not be enough evidence
What did The Anasazi do day to day at Chaco Canyon and Cliff Palace . The Anasazi grew crops and move around seasonally for food. The Anasazi ate mostly corn and beans. The Anasazi sometimes made soup from those beans and corn. The Anasazi stored their food in a storage. The storage was a in pits. The pits had roof made of lined with upright stoner with a platform of poles, twigs, grass, slabs or rocks, and mud.The pits were well made for the technology The Anasazi had.

Cisneros shows that knowing and accepting where we come from is an important part of growing up and determining who we are.
They were no more than hardworking renters, now. That was the lowest Tike had ever been but he had not reached the rock bottom of the farming industry, so the hope of owning land was still there. Therefore, when a government brochure, for the farming population, presented the idea of a safe, sanitary, and inexpensive house of earth, the dream of building this house was formed.
It all started with a land grant in 1694 by a gentleman named Robert Fenwick. After being through roughly about nine families, George Washington Morris purchased a plantation in Adams Run, South Carolina containing approximately 842 acres in 1825, which happened to be across the river from his parents’ plantation. G. W. Morris’s parents, Ann Barnett Elliott and Colonel Lewis Morris, owned a large piece of land called Bull’s Island along with a plantation across the river that was called Block Island. G. W. Morris inherited those pieces of land and renamed the plantations The Grove, he later built what is known as The Grove House in 1828. The Grove House is a raised cottage format with a Federal-style structure to it. There are roughly about

His mom and dad owned it with Creon's brothers Eteocles and Polyneices next in line to run the business. Only Creon's mom and dad died in a plane crash and Eteocles and Polyneices died in war.
Second, the Chaco structures were used to store food supplies. The professor opposes this point by saying that this point is not supported by evidence. The professor
The Great House, the largest prehistoric native American structure in North America, is a four-story building constructed by ancient Sonoran Desert people, the Hohokam. The Hohokam were native American tribes that vanished in the 1400’s leaving behind archaeological evidence of a sophisticated culture, revealing advanced canal systems, and the “Casa Grande,” a big house in the Sonoran Desert valley. Missionary, explorer and mapmaker Eusibio Francisco Kino, was the first European to discover the site in 1694 and named it “Casa Grande”. After the railroad came through in 1879, travelers would scratch their names into the walls, some took artifacts, even pieces of the wall were taken as souvenirs. In 1889, Congress voted to take action to protect
First, the article states that one theory holds that the Chaco structure were purely residential. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that the building from the outside looks like American apartments, but from inside, we will cast a dout about that because of a lot of people used to live in it, there should be enough fire places. He said on of the largest houses were enough for a hundred families, but there were just fireplaces sufficient for ten families, so it could not use for
The Lecturer announces that, few fire places exist in the Chaco Canyon's settlements; therefor, one can conclude that these places are not created for residential purposes. Also, as the lecturer remark, the enormous number of the rooms does not confirm that these places are utilized for residential purpose like "apartment building" in Taos, which is stated in the passage. Therefore, The lecturer seriously casts doubt on this claim by comparing numerous rooms with few

Custom-House, in order to not only introduce his prior autobiographical writing, but describe how he came about creating his novel. In the Custom-House, the narrator works as a surveyor in the Salem Custom-House. He is surrounded by an aged group of workers, who pass time by sleeping and repeating various stories of their lives as sailors. The narrator, who believes his life and job are becoming rather frivolous, stumbles across a document that seemed to be untouched by humans for a large period of time. It was an “idle and rainy day” when Hawthorne discovered what he explains to be the Scarlet Letter. He is wandering through the second story of the Custom-House and finds himself in a large, barren room in which the run down walls are unfinished and the ceiling’s uncovered rafters
The physical shape of Cuzco has been described by some historians to have been constructed to resemble the mighty puma, with the fort-temple Saqsa Waman as the head of the puma and where the Tullumayo and Huantanay rivers converge as the puma’s tail (Stone, 211). Others, however, have posed the conceptual idea that the city was designed like a khipu, with the series of roads and invisible lines connecting Cuzco to sacred sites. Regardless of whether the design of Cuzco was meant to be physical versus conceptual, the extensive 20,000 miles of constructed road networks and the canalizing of the two rivers show how the outlying conquered cities were deliberately connected to Cuzco.
The prehistoric civilization of Chavin, a name of which has been given to the Chavin culture since the name for which the original indigenous people had is unknown, spanned approximately 700 years in the Andean highlands of Peru through the Mosna Valley and spread its cultures ideology and technological advances far beyond its immediate geographic region over a period time known as the Early Horizon (Druck, 2004). Among the many things Chavin has been recognized for over the history of its archaeological research is the culture of Chavin de Huantar, found in the Andean Highlands, believed to be built almost 3,000 years ago. The importance of this site, as a political and religious center for its people, has been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of 1,052 sites globally. Furthermore, the archaeological work in Chavin, particularly in the research of ceramics has led to identifying the culture in three stages – Urabarriu, Chakinani, Jarabarriu, (Druck, 2004). (Druc, 2004). John Rick writes that, Overtime, these changes in populations showed they were moving from a “small-scale societies to much larger populations with increasingly differentiated power and privilege,” (p. 4,
As far as the central temple at Chavín de Huantar is concerned, it was almost certainly a centre of sacred pilgrimage built up over a period of centuries into a large ceremonial complex used at appropriate calendrical intervals to focus the spiritual, political, and economic energies of a vast area (at least large enough to include a range of produce for local consumption from tropical forest, high Andean and desert coast regions). The magnificent stone
The Minions had great architectural structures, while some of the earlier structures were made from simple mud brick and rubble (dressed stone) with wood frames for bracing, after the major earthquake that occurred in 1700, some of the damaged buildings on Knossos and Phaistos were repaired and enlarged. The palace at Knossos may have been the inspiration for the Greek story of Minos’ labyrinth because of the maze like floor layout. The palace is constructed on the post and lintel elevation with wooden columns that taper down, very unusual in the ancient world. These complexes housed everything: religion, residential, manufacturing and warehouse. Many of the rooms surrounded a large central courtyard that would lead into the throne room that was located on the West side of the complex. The interior of the palace complex had many courts and was painted in bright primary colors, which emphasized their preference for opulence.
