Viking: North America
built 649 days ago
This bronze ringed-pin, similar to Viking/Norse pins found throughout the North Atlantic, is the most persuasive evidence of Vikings at L’Anse aux Meadows. Equally intriguing is this small wooden carving of what appears to be a medieval Norseman wearing a robe with a cross on it. Made by an Inuit carver in the 14th century, it suggests face-to-face contact between natives and Norsemen on Baffin Island.
