TPO-44 - Integrated Writing Task In 1957 a European silver coin dating to the eleventh century was discovered at a Native American archaeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. Many people believed the coin had been originally brought to

According to the given set of the reading passage, it is the author's conviction that the silver coins, Found in the state of Maine in the United States, could not be brought by European explores known as Norse owing to several highlighted reasons. On the contrary, the lecturer casts doubt on this justification and repudiate each of the author's specific point by providing several counter-arguments that are as follows:

First of all, the reading holds the view that the distance between the Native American site and Norse inhabitants is more than 1000 kilometers. So, the coins do not have a specific relationship with them. However, the lecturer finds this reason unconvincing and asserts that the discovery of other objects, not only the coins, have been reported. In addition, the Native Americans were more interested in traveling long distances and obtain numerous objects. As a result, they could reach to these regions and bring the silver coins.

Secondly, although the author points out that there is not any document related to the observation of other coins in the Canadian sites, the lecturer explains that it is not necessary to discover other coins. Moreover, the European explorers were not habitual dwellers in that area and they came back to Europe after a while. Therefore, this can lead us to this claim that they brought the silver coins with and took them all back with them.

As the last point to emphasize the reading claim, the author says that the silver coins were useless to Americans and did not consider them as money. Yet again, the lecturer states on the opposite side and contradicts that Native North Americans were attracted by the coins' beauty and used them in their jewelry industry. Furthermore, Americans became more interested and trade these coins with Europeans. All in all, based on the reasons in the listening, the claims in the text seem to be implausible
