Tom,
.
This is a 1979 film, It may have been started about the time the Canadian Archaeology academics were forcing Thomas E, Lee out of their professional associations. He was already printing his own "Anthropological Journal of Canada" so he could publish. I judge this film to be archaeologically honest about the knowledge in 1979. Notice that the accepted view is now that the Norse came only to Lanse Aux Meadows. The Eurocentric paradigm says they could not stand living there and left after a few years.
.
That paradigm, which says that only a few Norse came and want, saves the Eurocentric Paradigm. According to that paradigm there were no Norse, let alone millions of Christian Norse, when the English devastated North America. Just would not appear popular today if our English ancestors killed millions of Christian Norse people to be able to invite the germans, and the rest of Europe, to come in and farm.
.
Lee's two publications of 1966 and 1970 were far too threatening to those people trying to deny Norse presence in North America. Archaeology professionals still want to maintain the myth that America was a pristine wilderness with only a few natives, who were pagans.
.
The Eurocentric academic professors do not know how to cope with the concept that the people in America in 1500 may have included millions of Norse Christians. The English came promising to convert Americans to be Christians. They did not expect to find Norse Christians setting on the richest land.
.
Lee's conclusions need to be updated because of further research:
.
1. The Long houses were built between 0 and 500 (carbon dating), which would indicate a northern European culture, probably Danes, coming to harvest seal oil. (Movat, Farfarer.)
.
2. The Long houses were revisited in the 1350-1400 period (Carbon data), which coincides with the Lenape Migration. The upper layer of artifacts was probably Norse, not Thule.
BTW some authorities think the Thule were descended from Norse. Fifty eight percent (58%) of modern Thule men cannot be separated by Y-chromosome from men in 12 Northern European countries.
.
3. Evidence of holes inside the stone walls indicate that the roofs were arched vs gabled. Arched roofs require less timber mass and all of the long houses were above the timber line.
.
4. Photographic evidence indicates that the cairns held up food storage granaries. True they were placed in strategic places but they were granaries. In the Sagas Leif's men found a "granary" but nobody near it.
.
5. Their report supports the hypothesis that the granaries were built during the Coppper Trade, 4200 to 3200 years ago when the miners walked into Lake Superior when the ice would make traveling possible.
.
The Lenape Epic and the Frozen Trail to Merica cover these details and more.
