Doug,
you are not the one to decide if and why diplomas and or maps are within
archaeologic topic or not.
If you don't like a post - then don't read it and don't write comments to
it. Simple as that.
Unfortunatly for you and your anti Norse presence in NA there is a full
documentation now that can be presented to prove the connection between the
"Grænlendinga þáttur" - Historiae Norwegiae for 1180's and artifacts which
can be followed up to 1457. More unfortunatly for you the last days also
have presented an excellent written documentation, Ivar Bardson related, why
there is a silver coconut vessel in the Museum in Reykjavik. And more.
Thus you shouldn't be so hostile towards written documentation. You can't
interpret artifacts without having full documentation from written sources.
You might think you can but you must at least give others a chance to
present their case no matter if you don't like it.

Inger E
who will be sending part 1 Greenland-Vinland and Vinland map as soon as
possible. Artifacts as well as documents and background history for both
included.
