New evidence of Viking settlement found in Newfoundland

Scientists believe they have discovered a second Viking settlement in southwest Newfoundland, using satellite images.
The potential site is approximately 500 kilometres from the previously discovered Viking settlement in L’Anse Aux Meadows, N.L., which was originally found in 1960.
A team of researchers has been using open-source Google imagery to detect any possible Norse-era sites along the coast of Nunavut’s Baffin Island, and all the way to northern New England.

A satellite image shows a possible Viking settlement in southwestern Newfoundland.
Using the images from space, researchers looking for potential hot spots found shapes on the southwest coast of Newfoundland, said lead investigator Sarah Parcak, an archeologist at the University of Alabama. Her team then applied to the government of Newfoundland to do a basic site survey.
“We thought what we found was most likely going to be historic or indigenous,” Parcak said in an interview on CTV News Channel on Friday.
But digging at the remote area, called Point Rosee, unearthed some telltale signs of Norse-era settlement, including bog iron, turf walls and a hearth. Carbon dating also pegged the site’s date ranges between the ninth and thirteenth centuries AD, Parcak said.
Parcak also said that the geography of the site is further evidence of a possible Viking settlement because it is situated near beaches and natural resources such as wood, fish and water.
“It’s the kind of spot the Norse would have ideally settled, so all of the evidence right now is quite suggestive,” Parcak said.
While it is an exciting development, the area has not yet been confirmed as a Viking settlement site.
“But I think what we’ve found is very intriguing and certainly merits years of further investigation,” Parcak said.
'Edge of European frontier'
If confirmed as a Viking settlement, the site could provide a wealth of insight into early North American history, said Douglas Bolender, one of the researcher who made the potential discovery last June.
“This is at the very edge of the European frontier in the Viking world, where people were setting out in relatively small boats and exploring an entirely new horizon and meeting new people for the first time in North America,” said Bolender, who is an archeologist with the University of Massachusetts.
He added that new archeological site would “open up our ability understand what the Norse were doing there, the range of activities that they had, how long they were actually in the new world, and potentially why they ultimately left. “
Bolender said researchers are being cautious about calling it a Viking settlement.
“We have very limited exposure and would really like, and are looking forward to, the opportunity to go back and really confirm that there’s no alternative explanation for this material.”
Archaeologists are set to resume excavation at the site this summer.
Thousands of people visit L’Anse aux Meadows each year to tour the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America.
The uncovered remains of the Viking village have been replicated by Parks Canada for historical purposes.

Yea, I dont even know where to start... I must admit that I actually learned some valuable and accurate information. Including civics, US history, and economics. Its surprising how my teachers got away with teaching what they did. Today they'd be hung for sure...
Probably the biggest lies I'd learned was about FDR, Woodrow Wilson, and "Honest" Abe. I wont fault my teachers for those..
I was in school when Milton Friedman was on PBS - imagine that today? The misinformation definitely accelerated after the Soviet Union fell. Khrushchev was right - they did win, after all.

That first settlement in Newfoundland . . . Eric the Red . . . uncovered Viking style fire pits.potential site is approximately 500 kilometres from the previously discovered Viking settlement in L’Anse Aux Meadows, N.L., which was originally found in 1960.
Apparently they were all killed by those pesky native Americans, according to National Geographic.

Perhaps, but what about the north site?

Cro-mags wandered across the Alaskan peninsula.
to be fair, this is just a story that concerns good evidence Vikings were here before Columbus....were there others that came before?...posssibly, but like i said, this just concerns Vikings and their explorations with hard facts to back it up.

Seems like they would have a hard time returning, until they built ships big enough to go out far enough to hit the Gulf Stream.

http://users.on.net/~mkfenn/page9.htmBarry Fell, author of 'America B.C.' is an accomplished decipherer of ancient scripts and has managed to identify a great deal of Celtic, Phoenician, Iberian, Egyptian, Berber, Libyan and Viking scripts in America, indicating that a great deal of trade contact occurred during and after the Bronze Age, but ceasing around the time of the beginning of the Roman Empire. Apparently these great ocean navigators after the destruction of Carthage, decided to withhold all information on navigating to the Americas from the Romans and by the end of the Roman Empire and the onset of the dark ages, much was forgotten about trans Atlantic navigation and the Americas.
Barry Fell has identified Ogham script in America, Ireland, Spain and Africa that goes back to at least 800BC. Early Egyptian scripts were used by the Micmac of North America right up to the arrival of Missionaries. He also identifies many early style Celtic Megalithic monuments on the east coast of America, in particular New England, New Hampshire, Vermont and Woodstock, they take the form of Dolmens, Phallic menhir, Men-a-tol, massive stone Druid's chairs, megalithic chambers, Solstice and Equinox viewing chambers and burial mounds. These all parallel similar structures in Coastal Europe, especially on the Dingle peninsular, Brittany and some sites in Spain. As usual, this work has been ignored by the Eurocentric 'No one before Columbus' fraternity.
Although Barry Fell did not go further than assert that most Celtic connections occurred around the Bronze Age. He was not aware of the more ancient genetic connections the Celts had with the proto-American Indians. With further studies done, more accurate dating of the Dolmens and other megalithic monuments will possibly show that some American megaliths may actually predate the arrival of Celts on the Dingle peninsular in Ireland, indicating that the Caribbean and America was the original homeland of the Celts.
