▶ Your Answer : The author claims that the particular pattern baskets from Palea may not originate from Paleans based on the discovery of a Palean basket in Lithos, which is located across from Palea boarded by the very deep and broad Brim River, due to the no evidence of boats which could have carried the basket on the water. However, the author overlooks a few possibilities of the existence of the unique basket crossing the river from Palea to Lithos. First of all, it is the possibility of the basket crossing the Brim River by people from Palea when there was no water in the river. For example, the water might have been frozen for a while in the ice age or in a harsh winter. The author doesn't mention exactly when the Palean people existed, so we can also expect that the basket could have been made before the ice age and moved to Lithos by people in Palea. Secondly, it is the possibility of the basket flowing through the river. On the basis of common sense, people can easily imagine the basket which is lighter than certain amounts of weight can float in the water and move around any body of water. However, the author overlooks the possible chance of the basket floating on the water and moving through the Brim River to Lithos. Lastly, it is the possibility of the basket crossing the river by a boat which was made relatively later than the time of being made since the author has a lack of the evidence of when the basket was placed in Lithos. If people living in Palea area, riding a more modern boat carried the old basket, there might be an opportunity of the basket being placed in Lithos after. The author overlooks the possibility of the basket being moved by another time of a boat from Palea area. Consequently, the author falsely claims his or her opinion despite the lack of evidences. However, by looking through three possibilities: the first of the basket crossing the river by people on foot on the frozen water, the second of the basket floating through the river, and the last of the possibility of being moved by different era after the Palean era; we can suggest the author's view of the Palean basket theory be changed based on these possibilities.
