European silver coins
The reading and the lecture are both about the European silver coin. The author of the reading feels that there are three reasons the archeologists believe that coin is not a piece of historical evidence. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of opinion that the archaeologists think that coin is not fake and Norse people contacted the American people.
First, the author argues that there is a great distance from settlements. The article mentions that coins found in Maine state and Norse people lived in North America that near eastern Canada and there is no connection between these two places. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that it is true there is a great distance, but the coin is not the only object that is found far. Additionally, she says that there is a reason behind that which is Americans travel to a far distance and bring coin with them.
Secondly, the writer suggests that no other coin is found. In the article, it is said that no other coin was found and it means that Norse people did not bring coin with them to their North American settlements. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that it is not necessarily they didn't bring silver coin with them, but they took it back to Europe. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that Norse people brought silver coin when they came to North America and then they took it back again when they went back to Europe.
Finally, the author posits that there is no use of European coins. Moreover, the article stated that the Americans did not use the silver coins because the Americans found them useless. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that the coins might not have value today as to how was valuable in Europe, but they are interesting. She notes that American found coins interesting, and attractive that is why coins used in trade.
In conclusion, the lecturer's opinion is opposing the author's opinion.
