The only other known Viking settlement in North America is in Newfoundland, Canada. This one is 300 miles further inland at Point Rosee.
Archaeologists discovered a fire-cracked stone and pieces of cooked iron at the new site, though they still need to do further research to confirm this is a Viking settlement.
Still, the find is promising. There's only one other known iron processing site in North America that existed before Europeans arrived on the continent - the one from the first Viking site discovered.
