About this siteWelcome to Vinlanda: The Vinland Map on the Web.This page explores the controversy surrounding the so called "Vinland Map," assembling some 100 pages on the topic from every corner of the web. Here you will find serious scholars pro and con as well as a bevy of quacksall categorized and described. I've added a certain amount of material on the other, less dubious, sources for Viking activity in North Americathe sagas and archaeological excavations at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundlandand some general links on Scandinavian history. A lot has happened in the last few months, including new analyses of the parchment and ink. The debate resembles a tennis match more every day. Check out the Recent Developments section. Your help finding new material, and your comments, are most welcome.
