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 explorers known as the Norse, who traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and came into contact with Native Americans almost a thousand years ago.
However, some archaeologists believe that the coin is not a genuine piece of historical evidence but a historical fake; they think that the coin was placed at the site recently by someone who wanted to mislead the public. There are three main reasons why some archaeologists believe that the coin is not genuine historical evidence.
The reading passage and the lecture talk about a European silver coin related to an explorer, Norse. Despite that, the professor states that the silver coin is not a historical fake but a genuine evidence. She casts doubt every single point the reading makes and provides explanations in the lecture to support her idea.
To begin with, the reading passage states the location where the coin found is a long distance from North Settlements, this evidence suggests there is no real connection between the coin and the settlement. However, the speaker claims the coin may be brought to the location when Norse travelled. Other finding were also discovered where far away from the settlement. Therefore, the professor can not give a nod to the author in terms of the first point.
Secondly, about no other coins found, the writer thinks the evidence indicates that Norse did not bring any silver coins whereas the lecturer holds the view that Norse could packed up all the valuable things back to the Europe so that they could not find the other coins. Apparently, the speaker's argument disproves the counterpart in the reading.
In addition, the writer in the reading mentions silver coin is useless in North America. The professor, on the other hand, argues silver coin is an unusual object. People in North America may appreciate its beauty and feel it appealing as other necklace or jewelry stuffs. The silver coin can be used for trading if the people think it is beautiful.
In conclusion, it is clear that the author and the professor hold conflicting views on this subject. They will have difficulties finding common ground on this topic.
