Please bring your face over here so I can smack it! ;-)

Good suggestion.
At least one of them is a fake in that it uses at least one of the
same anomalous runes as the KRS. It was found later than the KRS so
obviously was copied from it by the forger. Alternatively the masonic
plot was more widespread than even the fertile imagination of Martin
Reboul can imagine. :-)
Eric Stevens
So that's that sorted out. No more KRS threads in future. Hurrah!

You underestimate the esteemed Mr. Reboul, I feel sure of it.
I am certain that his paranoia is equal to the task. :-)

Hi Steve,
nice to see lines from your pen in the group again. Yes how about it.
Problem is that all images I ever receives don't make the stone easier to
'understand'. But of course it's a good suggestion to discuss it.

Why don't you visit your local museum for a good selection of
Pre-Columbian Scandinavian artifacts. Most of them are probably
authentic. People will agree with you.

North America doesn't have a Medieval History. That's a European
concept that applies to some parts of Europe, at some times. It's
pretty well meaningless elsewhere outside of theme parks and the
entertainment business. You mean you want to impose your little
universe on the world as it actually existed here. In North America we
were enjoying the last little bit of relative calm before the European
invasion. I don't think it matters a bit which one of you was first
discovered by people.
So Drake wasn't an Elizabethan voyager when he visited North America?
Eric Stevens
So Elizabeth ruled during the Middle Ages?
--
Tom McDonald
I don't quite know what you are driving at with that remark. The point
is that the labels applied to visitors are not chameleon like. They
remain fixed to the visitor. A Norwegian is a norwegian. A Medieval
Norwegian is a Medieval Norwegian. The history of Medieval Norwegians
in North America is the history of Medieval Norwegians.
I'm not arguing for applying the term 'medieval' to the rest of the
population of North America but denying its application to the history
visitors or colonists from Europe is being overly precious.
Eric Stevens
Sorry, I misunderstood you. That's what I get for paying
attention to Inger's exposition of English grammar. :-)
I took your remark to refer to the 'headsentence' of Hal's
post. I see now what you meant.
Still, I think Hal made an excellent point that we seem to lose
sometimes. We tend to look at this from the European point of
view. It's good betimes to remember that the funny pale boat
people were curious distractions from daily life for the huge
population of people (actually, mostly 'the people') already
living here.
Whenever we start this sort of investigation, I think we need
to recall that most of our ancestors were late-comers to the
lands we occupy, both in the Americas and in NZ. There is often
a desire of newcomers to feel rooted to their new homes, and
that often has taken the form of inventing historical
connections farther back in time.
In my own family, there is a legend that my parent's generation
was '1/64 Kickapoo Indian'. It may even be true. My great
grandfather on my mother's side's personal history is a bit
ambiguous, and he is said to have had some Indian blood. The
Kickapoo are a possible source of that blood, although there is
also a possibility that the tribal name was borrowed because it
sounds a little funny to many white Americans. In any case, I
felt good about that connection because it helped ground me here.
But as Vine DeLoria pointed out long ago, many white folks
invented this kind of legend in order to feel connected, and not
so much interlopers.
It is undeniably true that many European immigrant groups also
looked for signs of their ancestors, or at least Old World
folks, in the Americas in the pre-Columbian past. Scandinavians
were not the only ones by any means; and they turn out to have
at least some right to claim such.
However, before we begin the apparently inevitable slide into a
new discussion of Old World folks being here long, long ago, I
think we ought to take a little time to notice the historical
record of wishful thinking and prejudice creating phantasms that
a little rationality at the onset could have prevented.
Anyone for an investigation of _this_ historical reality?
--
Tom McDonald
Apart from that I take it that Hal and many others haven't heard latest
information re. the Indian practise to write down information on bark. Eric,
I believe it was you who one way or an other gave me a hint of an url from
where I have 'walked' to articles in Journals. Can't you send some
information re. the Pre-Columbian Indian writing which has been ignored upto
lately.

what you don't seem to be aware of is that it's not only 'white man' from

The labels in your example were applied by the visitors to themselves,
not to the visitors by North Americans. Nobody here cared what they
called themselves nor how often they changed it.

That's right. And the "history of Medieval Norwegians" is not
synonymous with the "Medieval History of North America".

My use of the term 'North America' is not synonymous with your use of
'visitors or colonists from Europe'. In fact some might attach a
disparaging label to someone who thinks like that.

Wrong. I guess you haven't been told about how much pre elizabethan
material exists across North America.
Hal,
I've seen only the smallest bit of that material. Museums,
universities, libraries, personal collections, tribal
organizations, art galleries, etc., are full to overflowing with
it. In fact, most public and many private collections are so
huge that most of it isn't even on display, being held in storage.
Inger seems to be ignorant of this huge mass of material. That
may be because it doesn't support her personal views. But then,
most of us are blind in some areas. Inger isn't alone in this.

As for the artifacts I refer to, your name aren't on the list from those who

there are more to be added to the documentation lists which now is being put

Tedd,
There are tens of thousands of excavation reports that refer to
pre-Columbian artifacts in the New World. There are even more
that refer to pre-Elizabethan artifacts in the New World. I'm
sure you've read tons of them yourself, as have I and most
others interested in the pre-Columbian story.

You know very well that Inger is thinking in terms of pre-Elizabethan

I haven't read more than a few hundred selected by scholar friends in US and

But and that's the difference between pre-Elizabethan artifacts and
Scandinavian/Greenlandic pre-Columbian artifacts, I never seen any report
where dating and context places one single pre-Elizabethan artifact in
pre-Columbian layers. Have you? On the other hand almost all of the reports
I have got hold of where pre-Columbian artifacts been found either falls
inside the 14C dating intervall fom 12th to 15th century layers OR can be
found to correspond with others that do including moorings with iron remains
inside them from Hudson Bay's Nelson River entrence down to Minnesota.....
the other route down via the south eastern corner of James Bay is confirmed,
but missed, in early explorers diary writings..... Funny but there still
seems to be a hugh gap of ignorance when it comes to French 1500's and
1600's text among English speaking scholars.

Not ignorance, just cautious suspicion. When reading acounts of people's

psychology of the writer, particularly the tendency to explain the

That might be so. Anyhow I can't figure out why so many good linguists have

A bit off-topic in sci.arch, but I can't let this opportunity for getting
some real good advertising pass by, so here goes:
"Variable grammars: verbal agreement in Northern dialects of English".
Tübingen: Niemeyer ('Linguistische Arbeiten'). To appear in spring 2005.
And, no, with "northern dialects" I do not mean Ingerish. Although you did
provide me with lots of delightful examples of variable subject-verb
agreement that I could have used. ;-)

20th-century dialects. People saying things like "they sing and dances", "I
go out and feeds the horses", "we're both right, isn't us", "them wee ones
is going to school", "there are a new school built over there".
There's also an excursus into the earlier history, though, and yes, a
chapter with something about Northumbrian. Including Scandinavians. You
might have heard about it, the 20th century is not the first time
Scandinavians have come to Scarborough to butcher the grammar of English.
Lukas
Yeh,
know the old tale. But I can't vouche for Scarborough being founded by
Swedish Vikings - that might be so but I do find the citadel in York and the
museum more interesting in the speculation about Scarborough's past.
Mind you - I did put a Northumbrian Medieval text in the hand of a
non-linguist educated(hardly no English knowledge at all) friend from Borås
area and she could read it and tell the content even if she couldn't
translate it word by word. So who knows?

Perhaps, instead of causing yet another "Inger

upset you every time, not matter how justified, you
might just post the ONE such reference that you find
most compelling and unquestionable? Surely *that's*
not to much to ask of a scholar?

Of course. I think, as I wrote elsewhere, that it's worth

You mean when you remove Inger's obsession what is left of the
discussion of precolumbian American Archaeology in this group.
Not much. Even though there is probably 99 to 999 times the
material for discussion regarding asian derived cultural
evolution in the new world, this group discusses the 0 to 1%
of material that supposedly came from western europe in a very
brief period from 1000 to 1200 A.D. with exception for a few
improperly documented voyages and discoveries in the New World
that people, more or less, think are hoaxes or in Inger's case
simply bad opinion, or extremely misguided opinions.
Why it seems the Eric and Inger are so completely
disinterested in the archaeology here that has nothing to do
with any stretch of the imagination Vikings and Celts? Could
it be ethnocentrism on their part, or simly ignorance.
But who here is presenting these things or simply responding
to the falicious claims of kooks?
> Yes most were and almost all have been presented with titles here
> in group over the years
Judging by experience of your posting in soc.history.medieval, all
the references you post would have been vague, probably irrelevant and
almost certainly unobtainable. I work for a living, I certainly do not
have time to read a whole book just to find a reference that is
probably not in it, that is, unless it is on a subject I am interested
in.
Now Inger, what are the definitions of latitude and longitude? All
you have to do is look them up in a good dictionary, like the one you
claim to keep by your computer.

excelent job in locating those references so quickly. i assume of course
that since it was that easy for you to provide the previously referenced
material you will, without hesitation, provide me with a reference, please.
i thank you in advance for the prompt, professional, and scholarly manner in

and quoting the original string in which i made the request in response to

Well I'm glad you put 'that' in inverted commas- even if by Northumbrian
you mean the dialect of the modern county of Northumberland, as opposed to
the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, it isn't a 'that"- the urban dialect of
the Tyneside suburbs is quite different from the dialect spoken further
north towards Berwick, which is more influenced by Scots.
David B.
On the contrary, some of the examples you give are seriously vague. Happily
most of the correct details are now on Primesauce (and more should follow
this evening) e.g. for this vague (and even misspelled) reference of yours:

David B.
Yes it is today. Isn't. But I can't find the same type of differences when
reading Northumbrian texts. That's what makes me wonder a bit about the
'Scottish' language spoken in the Lowlands in those days might have been
less distinct then today. As for reading old text I must say that I enjoy
reading Medieval 'English' texts no matter what.
One I really love reading is King Alfred. Especially his will is interesting
reading.

No they aren't. Problem for you non-Scandinavians and also for many so
called linguists here in Sweden today are that if you haven't a real good
history knowledge(and I am not speaking of the ordinary school or High
School history-knowledge), then you miss a lot of the information in the
diplomas. A scholar studying for example Diplomatarium Norwegicum diplomas
need 'deep'-knowledge not only of Norway's history of the time but of all
the involved persons history as well. THAT's what makes you believe them to
be vague - they aren't.
Problem also is that hardly any of the needed information you have to have
can be found in English translated works. But it's worse. There aren't many
works you can lean to. First of all a majority of the works after WW2 and
befor 1985 deals with periods after 1500 AD. The few that deals with earlier
periods are mostly to be found among thesis written in Religion or History
dealing with Church one way or an other. Of course you can go to the Weibull
Professors, brothers and son to one of them and Lönnroth's work. Apart from
them most other don't give information enough one by one.

Actually there does seem to be a great deal of possibly Norse (I
prefer that to Viking) artifacts lying around. Most of them are of
poor provenanace and tend to be largely ignored by the mainstream.
Nevertheless, Inger's enthusiasm seems to be at least partly justified
in that I get the impression that there is ground swell of new
interest in their study from reputable sources. Lets see what the
situation is in five years from now ("Good things take time, you
know")
Eric Stevens
You will not have to wait that long Eric. The new analyses of several
iron-artifacts includes analyse of where the iron origin from in metallurgic
perspective, which method been used + study of all information connected to
the finding which in many cases already have presented a good context.

However, "var" in this text is the 1st person plural possessive pronoun:
"our", not the past tense of "to be":
setiwm vi var jnsigle
place we our seal
In other words, the reference is invalid for your argument.
This has been pointed out to Inger before (see http://tinyurl.com/6myey
where I reminded her that it was wrong) but she still insists on using this
worthless argument. Does she understand the meaning of the words she quotes
at all? Inger keeps asking for counter-arguments instead of abuse. When a
counter-argument demolishes her own argument, she ignores it.

I don't think the question had to do with your "randomly
selected" references.
Is either of these "random" reference to an "EXCAVATION"
report? Does either one provide reliable information about
pre-columbian artifacts, on the North American continent,
of european/scandinavian origin, in a dated context?
If you had provided (ever) *even one* such reference, it
would have taken you far less time cite it again than to
write all of the above.
Tedd has politely and rationally asked you for just one
such reference. And, of course, you accuse him of abuse.
Is it because you have no such reference, or because you
cannot remember where you put it?

So basically let me understand this.
The thread starts with a proclamation about evidence in a Pond
in Maine, Tedd asks for her evidence and she gives two
references, one misinterpreting the use of our and has some
tangential bearing on the KRS in Minnesota, the other is
discussing the follies and fancies of Margeret.
Yes, this makes sense. Here I think is the strategy, she wants
people to waste time trying to translate obscure old norwegian
(looks to me to be pidgeon norwegian) whilst she goes ahead
and post more threads in which she has no proof of what she is
claiming.
thank you inger for once again prooving my point. :-))
Do you still count excuses, Phil ?
That would be no. 57 ?
Could you please fup the stupid bitch to alt.usenet.kooks or
ignore her ?
Moronsson has never posted _anything_ worthwhile.
All her "Prime Sources" (yes, the stupid cow still is unable
to use the correct English term) are plain shit; i.e., they don't
support her moronic claims.
Use the google archives for her claims; but don't waste too
much time - you won't find anything useful.
But it's your time wasted ...
Cheers,
Michael Kuettner
Since her arguments are invalid anyway, is an invalid reference for
an invalid argument valid ? ;-P

Err, no.
I still haven't seen a valid argument from the stupid bitch.
When people are poking holes in her brain-dead phantasies, there's
her four-step reaction :
a) "I've posted references for years"
b) "stop abusing me"
c) running away
d) posting the same shit again
Together with Stevens (the little bugger with the open mind) and
Deppo, she would have managed to change sci.arch to alt.kooks.krs,
if it weren't for Kookinski.
Thusly, we gladly read kooks.krs.combined.with.Heyerdahl.
Nicely done, folks. You've created a shithole just because you
wanted to be polite to a "lady".
"sci".arch ? It's a joke.

Maternity is a matter of fact

Suit yourself. Meanwhile, the latest addition to Primesauce is not exactly
what anybody expected (least of all me):
http://www.trochos.plus.com/primesauce/greenland.htm
David B.
Something I don't get, Spirit pond was once a tidal pond, for
how long we don't know, a man in a yellow dingy finds 3
stones, right, these stones are supposed to be from 1340 to
1002 A.D.
Statistical probability, what is the likelihood of finding 3
stones in one location after 700 to 1000 years given a tidal
pond, lots of water erosion, odds of catastrophic storms or
hard cold winters with sea ice in peripheral ponds, pushing
those stones into deeper water, and all those kinds of
variables. What are the odds in addition that if for some odd
reason those stones did actually survive, that they would not
be discovered until 1971. Are we making the argument that no-
one investigated this pond, even though they damned it up
until 1971.
I remember once a little sci-fi flick, forget the exact name
by which a spaceship was based on an infinite improbability
drive, sort of suck in improbable instances like space
travelers on doomed worlds.
Here's another statistical improbability. Over Norway and
Sweded a handful of runestones were discovered, with 100s of
years and 100,000s of peoples to make such stones. Oddly it
seems they are claiming 3 runestones discovered in the U.S.
with nowhere even close to a potential of a fraction of 1% of
the population. What are the odds of that. Even for people to
have carried the secret art in secret societies there have to
be numbers produced every 100 years in the region.
Here is another infinite improbability, what are the odds of
a gang of norse ending up in Minnisota, with a mason,
freemason (at best 50 years in existence), stone carver. Even
more odd there are apparently scots and brits aboard but only
gaeths and norwegians are killed.
Here is another infinite improbability, upon their return a
legend is written in a book, but know one from whence the
legend was written is aware of it, about a journey of norse,
but instead of the norse conveying the story directly a
flemish voyager learns about the story in Norway from an
account from a man where the legend is written up. We then
learn later that his account of that account is lost and that
account, from the place where the original account was written
and lost and forgotten completely, relies on the account of
the flemishman who traveled to a land where the cotravelers
were from, but has no account from them, but from a different
account who from the same land which we have our current
account.
More improbability, it took Louis and Clark 2 years to travel
from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean and back. For the most part
they knew were they were going for about half the journey and
they had Indian guide that saved thier skin a couple of times.
The distance a mere ~1500 miles over land. Now here this KRS
was carved in 1362, and yet our travelers are back in 1362,
and have sufficient time to write book with other legends
besides the stated, in time to get it to a conference in
Bergen.
If such things existed could you imagine how fast we could
drive the sci-fi spacecraft with these various accounts if
true.
I sent tk, the full title of one excavationreport dealing with the mooring
found under 120 cm sedimentlayer still inside the mooringhole, location a
creek a bit down Nelson River some month back, maybe 6 months back. Don't
have it in my computer at the moment.
For the others the analyses is underway and nothing has been said neither of
which museum it will end up in nor when the report is due to be edited.

I suspect there are scenarios less improbable than the ones you have
chosen to account for the various events.
Nevertheless, your iiginal point about the history of Spirit Pond and,
sticking in line with the spirit of the thread (Spirit Pond, Maine) I
wonder if anyone can throw any light on it. For a start, can anyone
point to a map or a photograph of the site?
