Today, in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, an archaeological site known as “L’Anse aux Meadows” occupies the northernmost tip of the Great Northern Peninsula. It has been dated as far back as 4000 CE and has origin ties to The Vinland Sagas, such as The Saga of Erik the Red. Now, it has been deemed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and has artifacts, remains, and reconstructions available for those who want to tour the archaeological site. This anthology of nine bright students’ research on L’Anse aux Meadows dives into its speculated history and literary significance, its contemporary discovery and modern-day significance, and similarities and differences between Norse people and Vikings, among many other fascinating topics.
