4 CA - L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site (1978)

L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site

At the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, the remains of an 11th-century Viking settlement are evidence of the first European presence in North America. The excavated remains of wood-framed peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland.

拉安斯欧克斯梅多国家历史遗址

在纽芬兰岛北部半岛的一角，有11世纪维京人(Viking)的聚落遗址，这是欧洲人踏足北美大陆的最早证据。遗址出土的木结构泥草房屋遗迹同在格陵兰岛和冰岛发现的十分类似。
