tpo 44 the silver coin brought to North America by the Norse
The material discusses if the silver coin that was discovered in the state of Maine related to the Norse or not. While the reading claims three reasons to cast doubt that this coin was brought to North America by the Norse, the listening challenges this and points out that many archaeologists believe that this coin is genuine evidence that the Norse got in contact with the North Americans.
First, the author mentions that the Norse settled in eastern Canada which is far away from Maine. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and brings up that other objects that were found in North America, had been brought from long distances. Furthermore, the lecturer adds that the Norse traveled great distances to discover various places, so may be they reached North America, obtaining this coin with them.
Second, the writer states that they do not find other coins in the Canadian sites, where the Norse settled. On the contrary, the lecturer encounters this and cites that the Norse were not willing for a permanent stay in Canada, so they might bring their stuff with them, but they took them back when they left. According to the lecture, the Norse brought coins with them, but when they decided to return, they packed up all their coins back with them.
Third, the reading posits that the North Americans did not use these coins as money, so the Norse did not need to bring these coins with them. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and contends that the Norse knew that North Americans valued all attractive and beautiful objects. The lecture says that these coins were beautiful, so North Americans could use them as necklaces or jewelers. The professor adds that the Norse could bring these coins with them to trade with the North Americans.
