TPO-44 - Integrated Writing Task
In 1957 a European silver coin dating to the eleventh century was discovered at a Native American archaeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. Many people believed the coin had been originally brought to North America by European explorers known as the Norse, who traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and came into contact with Native Americans almost a thousand years ago.
However, some archaeologists believe that the coin is not a genuine piece of historical evidence but a historical fake; they think that the coin was placed at the site recently by someone who wanted to mislead the public. There are three main reasons why some archaeologists believe that the coin is not genuine historical evidence.
Great Distance from Norse Settlements
First, the Native American site in Maine where the coin was discovered is located very far from other sites documenting a Norse presence in North America. Remains of Norse settlements have been discovered in far eastern Canada. The distance between the Maine site and the Norse settlements in Canada is more than a thousand kilometers, suggesting the coin has no real connection with the settlements.
No Other Coins Found
A second problem is that no other coins have been found at the Canadian sites that were inhabited by the Norse. This suggests that the Norse did not bring any silver coins with them to their North American settlements.
Third, the Norse who traveled to North America would have understood that silver coins would most likely be useless to them. Sitver coins may have been in wide use in Europe at the time, but the Norse, as experienced explorers, would have known that native North Americans did not recognize silver coins as money.
The reading and the lecture are both about silver coins, which was used in north america. The author of the reading believes that north america citizans did not use these coins as money. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. she said that norse's expectations not real.
Firs of all, the author point out that distance betweeen location where coins were discovered and north america approximately thousand kilometer. it is mentioned that it wa imposible to connect this coin with settlements. this point is challenged by the lecturer. she said that this situation has historical explanation. Likewise , they were grateful for obtaining new objects, and north americans brought coin fro there.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that scientists did not found any other coins from that place. The article notes that in north america people did not use silver coins. The lecturer rebuts this arguent. she suggests that norse did not create settlements. she elaborates on this by mentioning that people in north america picked up these coins with themselves.
Finally, the authoe states that in north america there as no need for metal coins. The article establishes that thee metals was useless for ancient people there. The lecturer, on the other had, posits that north americans was attrected to bright things, jewelery such as neckless.she puts forth the idea that that people used these silver coins.
In conclusion , the reading and the lecture are both about coins, which is still discussed by the archaelogists. The professor effectively challenges the claims made in the article
