Eguzkitanedan Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Anse_aux_MeadowsYes I know John W... "What does this have to do with the BOM?" Was the iron native to L'aux Meadows or imported? And of course, since this utterly is unrelated to the BoM, I don't think the Vikings would have taught the Skraelings metalworking. Honestly, I'm confused. Why did you post this? Interesting stuff, but what's your intended point? Link to comment

Duncan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have heard a rumour that it was a fluke that any of these sites were ever actually found but I could be wrong, its Newfoundland for heaven's sakes not exactley a heavily populated area! Beautiful area though. Link to comment
peeps Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yes I know John W... "What does this have to do with the BOM?"Precisely. I'll second your imagined question from John W. Link to comment
Sethbag Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'll say what it has to do with the BoM. It provides a concrete example of the kinds of artifacts one might expect to find in an archeological site where people really did smelt iron, ie: iron slag, a forge, etc. Link to comment
