Both the reading and the lecture discuss the finding of a precious silver European coin, which people believe belonged to the "Norse" a group of European explorers that traveled to America about one thousand years ago. The reading claims that many archeologists do not recognize the coin as legitimate, and is in fact, a fake. The lecturer does not agree with this argument. She thinks that the coin is a real historical artifact. She points out that many archeologists think the same, and cast doubt on the claims made by the passage.
First, the passage claims that the coin is located too far from any known Norse settlement, and therefore, is not possible that the coin really belonged to them. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She explains that many other items have been found in very remote locations, distant to any settlement. Furthermore, she adds that natives were very interested in acquiring items from far away, and is very possible that a native acquires the coin from the Norse and then moved it distantly.
Second, the article states that no other of these silver coins have been found, suggesting that is highly unlikely that Norse brought a single coin to America settlements. However, the lecturer explains that the Norse packed all of their valuable belongings with them, for when they return to Europe, she thinks this justifies the Norse taking their coins to America.
Finally, the passage argues that the coins did not have any value in America. They put forth the idea that, the Norse were experimented explorers, and knew that native Americans did not use silver coins as currency. The professor in the lecture cast doubt on this point. She says that, while is true that native America did not value the coins in the same way that Norse did, native America had reasons to find them appealing, like their beauty and rareness.
