Both the passage and lecture offer opposing views on the originality of the silver coin which was found at a Native American archaeological site in state of Maine in the United States. While the text explains that the silver coin is not original, the lecturer totally repudiates this by giving reasons against each point made in the reading.
First of all, the text mentions that Norse settled in Canada which is more than 1000 kilometers away from the Maine site where the silver coin is found. On the contrary, the professor counters this by saying that North Americans had traveled long distances and brought back many other objects that are found far away from the excavation sites. Thus, it does not prove that the objects are fake. The speaker gave substantiated point and refutes the point made in the passage.
Besides this, the reading goes on by stating that there are no other coin found at the Maine site and it is not possible that Norse brought only one coin. The lecturer, however, counters this point by stating the fact that Norse went back to Europe and had taken all the important valuables with them. Therefore, they took all the silver coins with them back to Europe.
Lastly, the article gave reason that North American did not gave value to the silver coins. While the speaker says that North American would have found the silver coins very beautiful and different. They could have used it in making jewelry or any other interesting object. They would have traded it with the Norse.
To sum up, although both the passage and lecturer give interesting facts about the silver coin found at Maine site, but the reasons given by the professor are more reliable.
