Well-grounded conjecture ---

Leif the Lucky got to L'Anse aux Meadows.

That's a conjecture too, only the Norse camp at L'Anse aux Meadows
can be regarded as a fact. That it was Leif's fits with the
secondhand stories from Island however, so this conjecture is also
well grounded, and even so irrelevant that it is not worth arguing
over ;-)

Not irrelevant to me, however. It goes without saying that it is not
worth
arguing over. God forbid that there be argument on sci.arch ;-)

Was there any lasting impact that there even were Vikings in North
America
about 1000 years ago? The answer is a FIRM NO. So, God forbid that
someone be ethnocentric in the pursuit of archaeology ;-)

Were there pre-Columbian visitors to America that got to America
by boat across both the Atlantic and the Pacific?

You probably already know the answer because it is already inside
Wikipedia.

Is there more archaeology yet to be done to adduce evidence of it?
Yes, but
in the meantime a literature search may be done in Wikipedia, Google
Scholar,
JSTOR and other specialized databases.

Sci.archaeology is a good source.
The subject is discussed hundreds of times.
So search google groups for it

One might even find discussions of Dr. Patricia Sutherland's work.

Do we really need more of this?
