| In around ad 1000 Norse Vikings sailed from Greenland to North America and set up a village on the tip of what is now the island of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. At this site, known as L'Anse aux Meadows, the settlers built houses of wood framing covered with sod, similar to those shown in this reconstruction. | ||||||
