Chaco Canyon, a settlement of the ancient Anasazi culture in North America, has massive buildings. It must have been a major Anasazi center. Analysis of wood samples shows that some of the timber for the buildings came from the Chuska and San Mateo mountains, 50 miles from Chaco Canyon. Only a major cultural center would have the organizational power to import timber from 50 miles away.

The first is a premise used to support the argument’s main conclusion; the second is a premise used to support another conclusion drawn in the argument.

The first is inferred from another statement in the argument; the second is inferred from the first.
