The article and the lecture both discuss whether the coins discovered by native american one thousand years ago are fake or real. The reading claims that it is possible that they are not genuine. The lecturer, however, refutes the author's assessment and contends that they are real. He demonstrate three reasons to cast doubt on the claims made in the reading.
The first allegation of the script against which the orator argues is the possibility that the coins do not belong to the Norse because they were discovered in far away place of the Norse settlements. The lecturer refuted this point by stating that those settlers did not stay in one place, but they moving from one place to another to collect other objects.
Secondly, according to the text since no other coins were found in the same place, these archaeological pieces do not belong to the Norse. Though the speaker finds this idea debatable, he bolsters his opinion by stating that The Norse packed all there things as they travel back to Europe. Moreover, it is most probable that they did not bring them with them as they travel back.
Finally, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that native Americans found these coin pieces as invaluable. He contends that even though the coins were not used by native Americans as money. However, they still considered them as a distinguished pieces to be used for beauty. According to the lecturer they may have used them as jewelry to look more appealing. Thus the Norse would be encouraged to carry them.
