The reading passage and the lecture are both about a discovery at a Native American archaeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. More specifically, the writer discusses a silver coin which explores there does not have historical value. Nevertheless, the lecturer in the listening passage disagrees. He believes that there are some firm witnesses to prove the historical value of these coins and provide some evidence to refute all mentioned disagreements in the passage.
First of all, the author begins by stating that the area which this coin has been probed, it has a considerable distance from the Norse settlements who were some European explorers traveled this place via the Atlantic Ocean. The lecturer, however, disagrees. He declares that these people already had come from a far distance, and so it was not rare for them to take a long journey to obtain objects.
Furthermore, the author claims that the second vague is regarding the issue that any other coins have been discovered there yet. Again, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer's argument. The speaker holds that these American settlements lived there permanently, and it was possible to bring some coins with themselves and left just once there.
Lastly, the article mentioned that the silver coins do not possess any particular value in North American as long as they did not even count them as cash. In turn, the professor in the listening passage is doubtful that this is accurate. He states that the Norse individuals may have attracted for the beauty of silver coins; therefore, they were exerting it as a commercial commodity.
