Both the reading and lecture are about a European silver coin which was brought to Maine-one of the Native American site-by Norse. As a matter a fact, Norse were European people who were settled in North America in eastern Canada. The reading provides three reasons for being fake of this coin and then supports them. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and finds all arguments dubious.
First of all, the author of reading declares that there is a great distance between native America's site and North America as much as a thousand kilometers, so there could not be a connection between these mentioned sites. This point is challenged by the professor. She claims that in Mania site, a huge number of other objects were found by archaeologists that those objects had been brought from far distances even more than distance among native and North America. She elaborates on this by mentioning that all of them have historical explanations, so the distance fails to be a reason for being fake.
Secondly, the article contends that from eastern Canada that Norse lived there, did not find other coins; in the contrast the lecturer poses that since Norse did not stay permanently in Canada; therefore, there is a possibility that Norse packed their all objects when they returned to Europe, so lack of coin in that site is obvious.
Finally, the reading passage states that silver was not important in America and Norse were aware from this fact; consequently, bringing coin to the Maine site could be useless. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer again and she expresses that Norse people knew that American people had a tendency toward unusual objects; hence, they may have applied coin silvers to make necklace or jewelry. One should notice that a trade between two aforementioned regions could have happened.
