Letter From Newfoundland: Homing In On The Red Paint People

[PilotDave]

Blah blah blah! Go VIKINGS! Favre rules! Saints Colts and everybody not in purple suck!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks blam!

[rdl6989]

Colt players Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis would love to meet Mr. Favre’s acquaintance about five yards behind the line of scrimmage, but it won’t happen this year. :D

The fact that Vikings and Iroquois had long houses always left questions in my mind about a pre-Columbian settlement here. The St. Lawrence would appear to have been one of their routes had they ventured up river. Hmmmmm ?

[TypeZoNegative]

You’re right. You guys will be knocked out of the divisional playoffs while we’re in the Superbowl. At least you guys can dominate the pro bowl.

I don’t understand the headline on this post. Are you suggesting the Vikings will play New England in the Superbowl? Don’t think so. Hope you know the New England team is called the Patriots.

Meanwhile, Go Steelers. (They’re going to need all the help they can get!!!)

Another great history post. Thanks.

To further complicate the research, pre-Columbian tribes of the Pacific NW also built and lived in long houses.

Reckon the Viking made it all the way to the Pacific or were the long houses a N. American invention.?

Ping for later reading

A read another book on pre-Columbian archaeology some time ago - I can’t remember the title. It had a section in there about Viking mooring holes. The author claimed that Vikings regualrly used a characteristic mooring hole, drilled into the side of a rock along the shore into which a metal bar was dropped and a mooring line fastened from their ships.

Such morring holes have been supposedly found quite far south along the Atlantic Sea Baord, well into New England.

Look at the Coast of Maine and Mass, all kinds of Rivers to explore, all the way down to the Cape. What lies under 400 years of settlement?

[SunkenCiv]

The problem with stone anchors is, they’re not too stylish, so a stone anchor lost in ancient times would only be generally accepted if it’s found in the “right” place. :’) Mooring stones — interesting, I’d read that too, but forgotten about it. Thanks Zulu.

[SunkenCiv]

Maybe the tribes made it all the way to Europe in order to explain all those "Viking" longhouses? :'P

New England still has a team? ;’)

My pleasure.
