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 explor

The reading states that the the European silver coin dating to eleventh century, discovered in Maine in United states in 1957 was not a genuine historical evidence; and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that the coin unearthed is not fake and is a true evidence of the norse's settlement coming in contact with the Native Americans.Therefore, she refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the article posits that the location of the discovery of the European silver coin in United states was very far from the Norse settlement which was in far eastern canada. The lecturer challenges this points and states that there were other objects found at the same site of the coin which belonged to the places far away. She explains that American who travelled great distances would have visited Norse settlement and brought their silver coin back to the Maine.

Second, the reading avers that evidence of no other coins at the canadian sites supports the idea that Norse did not bring any silver coins to America. The professor rebuts this argument and says that Europeans did not create any permanent settlement. Thus, while packing their belongings for the return voyage, they would have packed all the coins which they brought with them. Thus, while returning, they took all the coins back with them.

Finally, the reading claims that Norse would have realised that the silver coins were of no use to the North Americans. Conversely, the professor mentions that Norse would have understood that Americans valued attractive and unusual objects, which they could use in their necklaces or other jewellery. Consequently, Norse would have used those coins to trade with them.
