Question

What has been actually proven about L'anse Aux Meadows?

Answer 1

The most important find at L'Anse aux Meadows was made by a Canadian named Tony Beardsley. On August 4, 1964, he dug down to a layer of turf blackened with charcoal. Here, he found a tiny stone wheel. At the time, it was considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in North America. Only three centimetres wide, the wheel, called a spindle whorl, was carved from soapstone and belonged to a spindle, a simple machine for spinning wool. Many similar whorls had been found at Norse sites in Greenland, Iceland and NorwayThese discoveries at L'Anse aux Meadows meant that the history books would have to be rewritten. Christopher Columbus could no longer be considered the first European to reach North America. The Vikings had reached and established a camp at least some five hundred years before Columbus's first voyage.
