A coin is fake or real
Both the reading and the lecture is about the reality of a coin found at an archeological site in North America. The writer states that some archeologists believe that the coin is fake and provides three reasons to endorse its idea. However, the professor explains that the coin is real and gainsays each of the reasons mentioned in the reading.
First of all, the passage begins by asserting that the coin was found in North America while remains of the Norse settlement were found in eastern Canada. Due to a huge location difference between the two archeological sites, it is not evident that the coin has any connection with the settlement. In contrast, the professor exerts that many other objects were found with the coin which belonged to native Americans. It shows that they traveled a great distance at that time, therefore they found the coin which was original, and brought it to Maine with them.
Next, the professor further delves into details that Norse did not settle permanently in America and went back to Europe. They would have brought the silver coin with themselves and have taken it back along with their other stuff. That's why no other coin was not found. These claims refute the writer's implication about the absence of further coins at the archeological site, and that the Norse did not bring any silver coins to North America.
Ultimately, the article wraps its argument by declaring the third hypothesis that the Norse knew that the silver coins cannot be used as money in America, so, they did not bring them. On the other hand, the professor rebuts this theory by showing the inaccuracy of the author that these coins were appealing and could be used in jewelry, thus, they were valuable to Americans. Since the Norse knew it, they could have used them for trade prupose. Therefore, the found coin is not fake.
