Viking Settlement in Newfoundland

Just this past week, researchers believe they have precisely dated the Viking settlement in Newfoundland to 1021 - exactly 1000 years ago.
The date (revised from the 1000 AD date generally accepted) is based upon an anomaly in tree growth rings attributed to a solar storm in 992 AD. Trees were used in the original construction.
The previous estimate was based upon radio carbon dating.
