In this set of materials, the reading passage explores three reasons that some archaeologists believe that the coin is not genuine historical evidence, and the professor's lecture deals with the same topic. However, she casts doubts on these reasons, and in the lecture, she provides three specific points to substantiate her opinion.
To begin with, the reading passage suggests that the distance of the Native American site where the coin was discovered is far from other documented sites of Norse, the professor argues in the lecture that this point is relatively groundless. This is because the Native American traveled to faraway places in order to obtain materials, and they brought them home. As a result, the great distance from Norse settlements could be explained. Clearly, the professor's argument refutes its counterpart in the reading.
Moreover, despite the statement in the reading that there is no other coins found at the Canadian sites where the Norse inhabited, the professor asserts that the North did not live in permanent settlements. She supports this point with the fact that the North packed up all valuable properties, which included silver coins, and brought them back to Europe where they later used there. Therefore, it accounts for there is no other coins have been found.
Finally, the author of the reading claims that silver coins were useless to the Norse whereas the professor contends that silver coins were not recognized as money compared to current common notion, rather they were seen as attractive and appealing materials. Then she explains that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that necklaces were used for trading instead of using silver coins.
