Tpo 44
The reading and the listening passage have conflicting opinions about whether the coin in Maine in the United States is fake or not. The author of the reading believes that the coin was placed at the site recently by someone. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and brings up three reasons to reject the specific point in the reading passage. She thinks the coin is not fake.
The first point the author makes is that the place where the coin where found is very far from the place of Norse settlements. It is mentioned that this long distance makes it's impossible to be a real connection between the settlements and the coin. The lecturer opposes this by explaining that many other objects come from great distances. Furthermore, the coin could reach the site through Norse travel.
Secondly, the author contends that no other coins have been found at that especial place, therefore the article notes that the Norse did not bring any silver coins with them to the Norse. The concept is refused by the lecturer, she says the Norse settlement was not their permanent settlement. She elaborates that they pack their valuable things and when they returned, they take it back.
Finally, the author states that the silver coins might be useless to them because native North American did not consider silver coins as money. The lecturer rebuts this argument and states that silver coins might be very appealing and beautiful for them. She put forward the idea that they may use it as neckless and other jewelry. so because it is interesting for them it can be used in trade.
In the conclusion, the lecture and the author appear to be in disagreement about whether the coin is a genuine piece of historical evidence. the author contends that it is a historical fake which is contradicted by the lecturer.
