Tpo 44Question: Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific theories presented in the reading passage.European silver coin

The passage and lecture are arguing over whether the discovered coin at the archeological site is genuine or fake. The author suggests that the coin is fake and he/she provides three main reasons to support his belief. On the contrary, the professor challenges this idea and rebuts mentioned reasons one by one.

To begin with, it is said in the passage that the site where the coin is discovered is located far from the main Norse places. In contrast, the lecturer rebuts this point and she mentions that there are other objects which have been discovered are from these far places and they were brought to this archeological site by traveling. In this respect, this coin might be brought to this site by travelers.

Second, the author maintains that no other coins have been found in Canadian sites where the main settlements of the Norse were. On the other side, the lecturer challenges this reason and she states that Norse lived in the Canadian sites permanently and they had enough time for packing up their stuff like coins. Therefore, they left no coins in these sites.

Third, the author mentions that the European who were experienced explores knew that the coins were not useful, especially as money, for trading with native North American. On the other hand, the lecturer refuses this reason and she asserts that native people were enthusiastic to unusual objects like necklace and jewelry. As a result, they might be interested to these beautiful silver coins. Hence, they might accept these coins as valuable objects for trading.
