The reading and the listening passages are both about silver coins that were discovered at a Native American archeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. While the reading passage provides three main reasons why some archeological belief that the coin is not genuine, the professor contends that the coin is not fake and provides three reasons for that.
First of all, the article states that Maine is very far away from the Norse in Canada. On the other hand, the professor says that the native American traveled a great distance and brought many objects with them. Also, natives were interested in acquiring items from far away so, they could bring the silver coin with them.
Secondly, the author mentions that there are no other coins that have been found, which suggest that they did not bring coins with them. The lecturer refutes this point by saying it is not necessarily that they settle on. They might be packed up all the valuable object and took them back to Europe.
Finally, the reading passage contends that the Norse understood that the coins were useless. Also, they did not recognize as money. The professor cast doubts on this point by stating that it is true that they might not view it as money, but the Norse value other objects such as jewelry. Also, he mentioned that they value other things such as necklace which they used it to trade.
To conclude, the professor debunks to all points that the reading passage mentioned.
