Alt. Hist. request, Vikings make a go of the "New World"?

RE: Alt. Hist. request, Vikings make a go of the "New World"?
I find this the most compelling argument in that whole thing, Tiz.


Quote: There were no natives living near L’Anse aux Meadows in the year 1000 AD.

What resources would have drawn Native-Americans to that spot?  More likely that the Norse would have picked it exactly because it was uninhabited and sailing along the coast they would certainly have had their choice.  I submit that any sort of fence that the Norse may have built was more for keeping their own animals in rather than any attackers out.
