TPO-44 - Integrated Writing Task
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.
Great Distance from Norse Settlements
First, the Native American site in Maine where the coin was discovered is located very far from other sites documenting a Norse presence in North America. Remains of Norse settlements have been discovered in far eastern Canada. The distance between the Maine site and the Norse settlements in Canada is more than a thousand kilometers, suggesting the coin has no real connection with the settlements.
No Other Coins Found
A second problem is that no other coins have been found at the Canadian sites that were inhabited by the Norse. This suggests that the Norse did not bring any silver coins with them to their North American settlements.
Third, the Norse who traveled to North America would have understood that silver coins would most likely be useless to them. Sitver coins may have been in wide use in Europe at the time, but the Norse, as experienced explorers, would have known that native North Americans did not recognize silver coins as money.
The reading is in great controversy with lecture. While both discussed about a European sliver coin being found, reading gives evidence that the coin is misleading evidence; The lecture broaden hits on it is genuinely a great evidence of being brought to North America by Norse people.
The reading assert that owing to great distance from Norse settelements, which is approximately more than a thousand kilometers, the coin can not have any real connection with the inhabitant.
On the other hand, the professor claim that the Norse people have travelled long distance and may be, they lived in there too for a short time.
Secondly, the writer believes that due to finding no other coins there and lack of documents; it is logical to cast doubt on the Norse people were the ones that bring the sliver coin there. While the lecturer assert that the Norse people travelled back to Europe after a while therefore they could have brought conis there and agian bought them back to Europe and used them.
Utterly, the writer believes that the Norse who travaled to North Amrica would have known that sliver coins are useless to them, because inhabitante there would not recognized them as money. while the teacher is challange the writer idea by claiming that theyknew that it is not consider as credits but as long as they are appealing and intersting they can be used as a way to exchange goods. Moreover,northern people will used them in jewelries and also necklesses.
