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.

´Thanks Carl,
once again Erik H showed his ignorance of knowledge which most interested in
the subject already knows about. But I doubt that it will be helped by
telling him where to search for articles. I even doubt that he will be
reading all in sites and articles one recommend. He usually don't.
Anyhow for all other interested these sites might be of interest:


http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract;jsessionid=F28039C34EC8
7CE309E7DCAC8AD08006.tomcat1?fromPage=online&aid=43757


http://mexico.udg.mx/historia/precolombinas/ingles/Azteca/quetzalcoatl.html

Typical Ingerish reference. This page shows total ignorance of the facts,
but Inger cites it as evidence.


http://www.unm.edu/~rhristov/project2.html

There are also a lot of articles, but since it seems that most here have
problems with access to the most important once I rest my case here and now.

The first and 3rd one are basically the same thing. Old news, nothing
new, Hristov himself isn't certain and the context in which it was found
covers a period during which there were Spanish ships in the area. Let
alone problems about the reliability of the original excavation report and
the fact that the statue itself hasn't been examined enought to be 100%
certainly Roman. We've discussed this extensively here in the post,
googling my name will bring a lot up.
