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 his
Both the lecture and the reading are talking about whether the silver coin found at a Native American site is genuine historical evidence. While the author of the passage asserts that the coin is not geniune with three following arguments, the lecturer disputes the claim presented in the passage.
According to the passage, the Native American site where the coin was found is very far from other Norse settlements. The article aruges that the distance between the two sites is more than a thousand kilometers. The lecturer challenges this argument. He claims that the European explorers travelled a lot, with the coin. Additionally, he contends that they brought the coin from the main site to the other sites during travelling.
Secondly, the author proposes that there was no ther coins found at the Canadian sites, which suggests that the Norse did not bring any coin. The lecturer, however, points out that it is not necessary to find other silver coins. The reason is that they may pack up all coins when traveling back to Europe, with no coin left.
Finally, the author puts forth the idea that the European coins are useless for Norse because native North Americans did not recognize silver coins as money. In contrast, the lecture's stance is that silver coins are attractive and interesting, which are appealing to people. The North can trade with the natives with these coins for food or other stuff.
