 C-14 dating and the disappearance of Norsemen from Greenland
However, a no less fascinating story of the Norse settlers emerges from the application of the methods of physics to their remains, unearthed through a century of archeological excavations in Greenland.
In Greenland the Norsemen established colonies with farms, churches, cloisters and a bishopric: the Eastern Settlement near the southern tip of Greenland and the Western Settlement further north, near the present- day capital Nuuk.
Some archeologists have claimed that the Greenland Norsemen succumbed because they—being culturally inflexible—either could not or would not adapt to changing conditions and therefore came to a catastrophic end, triggered by deteriorating climate.
