Strontium isotopes don’t lie. Maybe that non-Viking guy was tagging along with the Vikings. Occam’s Razor.

Here’s the deal. according to you, the isotopes accumulate in the teeth due to diet, correct?

Therefore, how do you geographically locate a person who’s diet is mainly meat? Meat travels. especially meat that lives in the ocean.

AHA! didn’t think of that did ya girlie!

It's very likely the guy who wasn't a Viking designed their boat and may have kept it in condition.

Bet he could hunt seal much better than the others too!

I think I predicted this a couple of years ago ~ that we'd eventually find evidence that Vikings took one or two Sa'ami with them ~ which would 'splain nicely how some peculiarly Sa'ami genes did a major "break out" in Europe in the 900s.
