Extractions: by William W. Fitzhugh The discovery of the New World by Leif Eriksson one thousand years ago will be celebrated this year when Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga opens at the Smithsonian lnstitution's National Museum of Natural History on April 29, 2000. Eight years after the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' first voyage to the Caribbean, the exhibition seeks to educate the North American public about an earlier episode of European history in the New World by focusing attention on the contributions made by the Vikings and their Norse descendants, who continue to inhabit North Atlantic regions into the modern day. It turns out that educating the public about the Vikings and their relevance to North America is more necessary than one might imagine. North Americans know surprisingly little about this subject, even though it is one of the most popular topics taught in secondary schools (right after the history of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, and American Indians). What little is presented about Vikings in North American schools only serves to reinforce the stereotypic view of Vikings as crazed warriors bent on mayhem and destruction as they careen about the coasts of Europe in their "dragon-ships," harrying defenseless monasteries, laying siege to towns and cities, and carrying off plunder and slaves to their homelands in Scandinavia. This image has been reinforced by movies, such as the famous Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis film

Extractions: Photo by Denis Finnin, AMNH. At first, the settlers of southern Iceland replicated this pastoral ideal quite closely, but by the eleventh or early twelfth century, they, along with their pigs and goats, must have used up much of the forest. This may be the main reason that pigs, which need woodlands to thrive, drop out of the archaeological record at this time, as do goats, which probably were not as efficient as sheep at turning grass into milk. The relative numbers of cattle also decline in favor of sheep, probably because cows require better quality pasture. The old expectations and practices did not die so easily, however. When Erik the Red and his contemporaries settled Greenland, they sought to establish, wherever possible, not only the modified eleventh-century Icelandic farmstead but the original Scandinavian farmstead, rich in pigs and cattle. This simply did not work over the long term. Where did these bright, ambitious, hard-working settlers go wrong?

Extractions: This course, "The Viking World and the Vinland Question," is the successor to a slightly different course I used to teach here at Harvard that focussed more strictly on the period 800 to 1100. As you will see on the syllabus, in addition to the more obvious issues associated with the Viking Age, this course looks to examine the "ongoing reinterpretation of this era in later periods. Scandinavian 151: " The Viking World and the Vinland Question Prof. Stephen Mitchell 69 Dunster Street; 5-4788 I. Description: "Reviews the historical events in northern Europe A.D. 800 to A.D. 1100, and the literary legacy that resulted from these activities; special attention paid to the development of the North Atlantic colonies, particularly those in Greenland. The evidence for 'viking' activity in the New World (e.g., the Vinland sagas, the archaeological record)- and the fabrication of such evidence (e.g., the Kensington rune stone, the 'viking' city of Norumbega)- carefully considered."

While every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information contained, the author assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions, or for damages resulting from the use of the information contained herein. http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/spindles.html This document discusses spindle whorls and shafts found throughout the areas Scandinavians lived in during the Middle Ages (800-1500 CE). Many hundreds of spindle whorls survive from the Scandinavian Middle Ages. In the Viking Age they were frequently buried with women, and throughout the period many were lost or discarded at settlement sites, only to be dug up centuries later. The surviving whorls are made of many different materials: amber, antler (elk), bone (cattle, pig), clay, coral, glass, metal (iron, lead, lead alloy), and wood (oak). Many types of local stone were also used, such as chalk, limestone, mudstone, sandstone, schist, siltstone, slate, and soapstone. In Norway and Iceland, where soapstone can be quarried, and in the areas such as Scotland, Greenland, and Newfoundland that were influenced by Norway and Iceland, more soapstone whorls survive than whorls of any other material. Often soapstone whorls were made from reused fragments of cooking vessels.
Extractions: What is the difference between Norse and Viking? "Norse" is the name we give to the Germanic tribes who emigrated and settled in Scandinavia around the year 1000 BC. In the 8th century AD, the Norse started building fine and very versatile ships that allowed them to travel long distances. This was the beginning of the Viking age.

Extractions: Your browser does not support javascript At the Museums: Three Cheers for the Vikings Volume 53 Number 4, July/August 2000 by Judith Lindbergh When most people think of the Vikings, savage, horned-helmeted warriors and blond-braided maidens generally come to mind. Seemingly invincible in the annals of their Christianized victims, the Vikings explored, conquered, and exploited lands as far as their ships could carry them. They penetrated Russia, following waterways to the Black, Caspian, and eastern Mediterranean seas. They tormented the British Isles, terrorized Paris, and defaced a marble lion at the Greek port of Piraeus. But it was in the west, at the hands of Native North Americans and finally, more subtly, at the mercy of unpredictable changes in a fragile Arctic environment, that the Norse met a most poignant and unexpected fate.

Extractions: The Northern Science and Education Center at the City University of New York, a collaborative effort involving four college campuses and The Graduate Center, has its headquarters at Brooklyn College's department of Anthropology and Archaeology. Even before its formal opening in Spring 2001, NORSEC members organized international meetings, planned the 2000 international field school in Iceland, organized a session for the Society for American Archaeology meetings in 2000, and involved students in cutting-edge research. The circumpolar north includes not only the high arctic, but also the cold but productive and historically critical waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic, the majority of the territory of the rapidly changing Russian Federation, and a large part of the Scandinavian world. In recent years, the circumpolar north has moved from being a zone of military confrontation during the cold war to a center for large-scale international cooperation. As concerns about global environmental changes deepen, there has been widespread scientific recognition that the north is an essential area for monitoring major changes in temperature, marine and atmospheric circulation, greenhouse gases, pollution spread, and ozone depletion.

Ruler (Governor) Scandinavia: Greenland We have no accurate dates for the birth and death of Leif "the Lucky" Ericsson (also spelled Ericson or Erikson; in Norwegian, Leiv Eriksson den Hepne; in Old Norse, Leifr Eriksson), but we do know that around the year 1000 C.E. he made a historic journey to North America. The second son of Erik the Red , as a young man Leif Ericsson visited Norway, where he converted to Christianity. He was charged with returning to Greenland and converting others there, but instead he sailed further west and is believed to have landed somewhere in Nova Scotia. It was once thought that he accidentally sailed off course, but Leif was more likely deliberately seeking the land that Bjarni Herjulfsson had spotted some years earlier. He spent a year in North America before returning home to Greenland, where he served as governor and preached Christianity. Leif is often referred to as a Viking, but it's interesting to note that he lived at a time when the Viking Age was drawing to a close, and he was a devout Christian rather than a follower of the Norse pagan gods. However, he certainly displayed the Viking spirit of adventure and exploration.
