Both the reading and the lecture discuss the validity of several archaeological evidence that the Norse met Native Americans in ancient times. While the author of the reading contends that all of these are unconvincing, the lecturer challenges what is mentioned by the author and argues that these are real evidence. In addition, she says that these could indeed prove the connection between the Norse and Native Americans. The lecturer provides several reasons to support her arguments.
First of all, the author points out that the distance between Norse dwellings in eastern Canada was too far, which suggests that the coin had no connection with Norse. Nevertheless, the speaker casts doubt on the idea by saying that the Norse tended to bring the items they found in other areas back to their settlements. Furthermore, many historical objects found in their settlements in eastern Canada was exactly what they had found. Hence, these coins did have relationships with the Norse.
Secondly, the writer claims that no other coins have been found at the Canadian sites lived by the Norse. The professor, however, rebuts this by asserting that when the Norse went back to Europe, they would pack all the valuable items and brought them back. Because they must knew the coins were valuable, they would bring these coin back. Consequently, the argument from the author is not true.
Last but not least, it is stated in the passage that sliver coins had no value for Native Americans, so the Norse is unlikely to bring them as money. The scholar, on the other hand, implies that the sliver coins were actually beautiful. She elaborates on the idea that these coins could be used to make necklaces or luxury items. Therefore, the Norse could utilize the coins to trade with Native Americans. As a result, this can show there was a connection between the Norse and Native Americans.
