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 North America by European explorers known as the Norse, who traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and came into contact with Native Americans almost a thousand years ago.However, some archaeologists believe that the coin is not a genuine piece of historical evidence but a historical fake; they think that the coin was placed at the site recently by someone who wanted to mislead the public. There are three main reasons why some archaeologists believe that the coin is not genuine historical evidence. First, the Native American site in Maine where the coin was discovered is located very far from other sites documenting a Norse presence in North America. Remains of Norse settlements have been discovered in far eastern Canada. The distance between the Maine site and the Norse settlements in Canada is more than a thousand kilometers, suggesting the coin has no real connection with the settlements. A second problem is that no other coins have been found at the Canadian sites that were inhabited by the Norse. This suggests that the Norse did not bring any silver coins with them to their North American settlements.Third, the Norse who traveled to North America would have understood that silver coins would most likely be useless to them. Sitver coins may have been in wide use in Europe at the time, but the Norse, as experienced explorers, would have known that native North Americans did not recognize silver coins as money.
The reading passage and the lecture are both about a european silver coin which was found in one of the united states' site. The author of the article believes the coin was fake, placed by a person in that zone inorder to mislead the public. while the lecturer has a different opinion and she is of an opinion that these ancient object was not fake.
Fisrt of all, The passage states the fact that the place which coins are found is far from the settelments of the people in north america so it can vindicate that these objects could not belong to those people. This claim is challanged by the professor. She says there are many other things have found in those area and in the past people's travel to farther places is regular action.
Secondly, The author of the passage mentions there was not other coin in that site and it is significant evidence for understanding the fact that this coin was fake one because if it was real, they would be other coins beside it. This hypothesis rebuts by the lecturer again. She assers that those places were not their permanent settelment, also the coin is a valuable medium for ancient people and it is possible they brought it with them to that place and in return they carry their coins back with them. She adds it is not reasonable to leave precious iteams behind when they left the area.
Finally, the passage indicates that silver coins were valuable in european countries those days but they did not have meaning for native north american folks. So it is ridiculous idea to bring them to the area where nobody care about that object. The professor mentions the beautiness of those coins which can be attract everybody's attention . In addition, it was unusual object for the native folk of those area, so she thinks it was good idea to use them as a juweniers or neckles because it is shining and stunning.
