Home page of the Gerace Research Center, College of the Bahamas. The site has links to a listing of archaeological research and publications related to Bahamian archaeology, including the work of Charles Hoffman at the Long Bay site, where late Spanish artifacts have been found dating to the early voyages of Christopher Columbus.

The Canadian government’s official L’Anse aux Meadows website, with links to brief discussions of the village’s founding by the Norse in the late tenth century, the Viking sagas, and the archaeological research conducted at the site that confirms definitively the site’s identification as a Norse outpost in the New World five centuries before Columbus.

This is the companion website for the museum exhibit Vikings, The North Atlantic Saga, produced by the Smithsonian Institution. Extremely informative and well produced, the site provides an enormous amount of information about the archaeology, history, genetics, and environment of the Norse.

I mention Scott Wolter and his History Channel show America Unearthed in this chapter. For the “unauthorized reviews” of every episode, Jason Colavito’s website is spectacular. Make sure to have some Oreo cookies ready when you read the reviews (http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/tracing-the-origins-of-the-oreo-cookie-conspiracy). Seriously.
This short video about the discovery and excavation of L’anse aux Meadows was produced by the National Film Board of Canada. It includes original footage of the excavation filmed by the archaeologist Helge Ingstad.
