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 explor

The reading asserts that, a European silver coin, which related to eleventh century,was discovered at a Native American site. Some archaeologists believe that the coins are fake due to three reasons. The lecture, however, finds the idea dubious and cast doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
The author argues that, the coins are not original because of far distance. Put in other word, it would be impossible for individuals to brought these coins with themselves for such great distance. Conversely, the lecture brings up the idea that, it is feasible for native american to bring these coins, since they were interested in obtaining objects from remote and far locations to america.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that, the second reason for approving that the coins are fake is that, no other coins have been found at the site. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that, it is true that, no coins have been discovered there, but it would be due to another reason. The Nores brought their coins with them, and they packed up all their coins and took them back, when they returned to Europe.
Finally, It is stated in the reading passage that, the Norse who traveled to america would have known that silver coins would most likely useless to them, since the Native Americans did not assume silver coins as money. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that, the Native american would not recognize the coins as in the same way we do at present time, but Nores would have understood that the coins are interesting and appealing in other applications like necklace or jewelry
