Archaeologists have used satellite imagery to identify a site in Newfoundland that is probably the first new Viking site discovered in North America in over 50 years. Satellite imagery, magnetometer surveys, and a preliminary excavation of the site at Point Rosee in Southern Newfoundland last year could point to a potentially fascinating discovery. The only other Viking site in North America was found in the 1960s at L’Anse Aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland, about 300 miles from Point Rosee. Imagery suggests additional sites, a major rewrite of history.
