The augment is well presented based on its observation. However, there exists logic
fallacies and unreasonable conclusions which makes it not completely correct. Based on
the fact, that woven baskets are found in Lithos as well as in Palea. By saying that the river
between Palean and Lithos is deep and broad and there is no Palean boats discovered, the
author insists that Palean baskets in not unique. In this case, more situations should be
discussed.
Other possible ways that Palean basket can move from Palea to Lithos are ignored in the
argument. The translocation of woven baskets might not depend on whether acient Paleans
could have cross the Brim river or not. Perhaps some abandoned baskets in Palea floated
through the moving current to Lithos side. Beside of that, The people from Lithos may
reach Palea for trade and brought the woven baskets to their region. These two
assumptions indicates that the existence of woven baskets is irrelevant to the crossing of
Paleans.
Another assumption, according to the author’s point, Rime River existed and it was deep
and broad in the ancient time. However, due to geo-environmental changes in the past
thousands of years, the river might not exist or it wasn’t deep or wide in the past. It is
possible that Brime River was shallow and narrow where Paleans could easily cross it on
