POINT ROSEE, CANADA:\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s a two-mile trudge through forested, swampy ground to reach Point Rosee, a narrow, windswept peninsula stretching from southern Newfoundland into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Last June, a team of archaeologists was drawn to this remote part of Canada by a modern-day treasure map: satellite imagery revealing ground features that could be evidence of past human activity.<\/em><\/p>\n

The treasure they discovered here\u2014a stone hearth used for working iron\u2014could rewrite the early history of North America and aid the search for lost Viking settlements described in Norse sagas centuries ago.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
