[QUOTE="arktouros:991425"]There are no semi-permanent settlements this far south. The Newfoundland site is well known and recently a site in Nunavut was found. There was minor trade activity with the natives at semi-permanent sites (they called them Skraelings) but they could not endure because eventually one side or the other became hostile. At least one small band of Norse explorers went as far as Southern Maine and possibly as far as Massachusetts looking for cranberries but it's unclear if they ever found them - this expedition didn't last long because of skirmishes with the natives. The summers of 1000 AD were far warmer and there would have been a lot more food to forage in the area. The Norse coin is definitely from that expedition. I've heard of Norse runestones as far as Oklahoma but those were possibly moved by natives and I've also never seen a source on it.[/QUOTE]
