▶ Your Answer :
The
lecture argues that there are several controversies to consider drought as the
reason of the Anasazi’s disappearance. However, these contradict the reading
passage’s claim that the Anasazi left their homeland in response to a severe
lack of water.
To
begin with, the lecturer suggests that bones from Anasazi graves mean nothing.
As poor diet such as vitamin deficiencies or stunted growth were common in that
time. Furthermore, some experts argued that even some people were suffered from
malnutrition during harvest period and it is not plausible that people were
still had inadequate food if their leaving were in response to drought. He also
mentions that farmers could hold some religious ceremony with their food. This
casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that human remains from Anasazi show
absolute signs of low level of nutrition. So drought would be the reason to
limit growth of crops and force people to leave their homes.
Besides,
the speaker claims that the Anasazi actually did not return to their individual
settlements. If they were intended to reoccupy after droughts, they should come
back when the climate became stable. This counters the reading passage’s claim
that the condition of the abandoned settlements show that the drought made the
Anasazi to leave. As evidences from archaeological excavations revealed, the
Anasazi probably planned to come back later.
The
last point made by the speaker is that the new place the Anasazi eventually
resettled in areas had no adequate water supplies at all. As the amount of
water in the new place was not suitable to agriculture, the conditions of the
novel areas were hard to escape drought conditions. However, this contradicts
the reading passage’s claim that the Anasazi resettled in areas with reliable
water supplies shows that the lack of rainfall was the reason for the movement.
The new settlements were founded in regions with more abundant water, so the
Anasazi should be tried to find some places for enough water.
