"I am curious how this may connect with the alleged great die-off that occurred just prior to European colonial migration beginning."

As the die-off of Cahokia precedes Columbus' landing in the New World which caused a die-off in Central and South America, it can't be blamed on the diseases the Spaniards brought over, but the time frame matches the die-off caused by the diseases the Vikings brought to Newfoundland.

we know that the vikings got as far as newfoundland. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard say that they brought diseases with them that caused die offs.

Do you have references or are you just correlating the dates.
