TPO44
The professor revises the idea presented in the passage that the silver coin found at a Native American archaeological site is a historical fake and refutes each of the points made in the passage.
First of all, the reading passage states that there was a great distance between Native American site and Norse settlements in eastern Canada. The professor rejects this idea by explaining that many other objects have been found in the site that had been brought to it from far distances. In fact, Native Americans travelled great distances and brought all those objects back with themselves. Thus, the first theory has some deficiencies regarding the purpose of the reading passage.
Secondly, the professor's idea contradicts the second reason mentioned in the passage that there have not been any other ancient coins on the site. She clarifies that the Norse did not have permanent settlements in North America. Actually, they used to travel back to Europe from time to time and pack up valuable things while travelling. Thus, they brought coins with them to North America but took them back when they travelled to Europe again. Therefore, the second theory does not seem to be a good response to the main point of the passage.
Finally, the author suggests that Native North Americans did not perceive the silver coins as money and the Norse would have known this fact. Conversely, the professor holds a different view. She believes that the North American used to value unusual objects. Due to the fact that the silver coins were interesting and beautiful, it was likely to be used in pieces of jewelry and be traded by the North Americans. So, the third theory is not convincing, too.
