The article and the lecture are about a specific silver coin, which dating to the eleventh century, was presumably brought from Europe. The author does not only believe that this coin is fake but also provides some reasons that support it. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the statements made by the author. She believes that this coin is, in fact, evidence of the contact between European and Native American.
First, the author claims that the site in which this coin was found is much far away of usual sites in which there have been other types of remains. Therefore, it is unlikely that the silver coin assembles to the theory that was brought from Europe. Nevertheless, this hypothesis is challenged by the lecturer who posits that other objects have been found in places distant from the main site. Furthermore, she points out that American from that period used to travel and they could lose this coin during these trips. norse
Second, the article states that due to no other coins have been found, it is presumed that they did not bring this type of objects with them to North American settlements. Nonetheless, the lecturer discredits this point by explaining that European established permanent settlements in North America but when they went back to Europe, they packed everything and brought back with them.
Finally, the author mentions that because native American did not understand the significance of these silver coins, those were considered useless. Therefore, European did not pack these objects for the exploration in North America. The lecturer, on the other hand, puts forth the idea that due to Native American liked objects which expressed beauty or were attractive, they would have considered these coins as jewelry, and consequently, they would have traded with them.
