\"viking-ship\"<\/p>\n

A recent article on R\u00daV talks about Danish archaeological research showing that a Viking-age woman has ties to North American Indian tribes, using a technique that measures levels of strontium in the teeth, as well as DNA analysis from her bones. The strontium in the teeth reveals where a person was born and lived the early years of their life, while the strontium in bones shows where a person lived during the end of their life. Since strontium isotopes differ from region to region, this allows researchers to detect a person’s migration during their life.<\/p>\n

\nViking Woman Proves To Have Indian Ties<\/p>\n

“New Danish archaeological research into the DNA of a viking woman shows links between Nordic inhabitants and Indians in North America during the Viking age.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Icelandic word for DNA is interesting, combining the word efni<\/strong> (matter, substance) with a prefix having to do with heredity or inheritance (erf\u00f0-<\/strong>). Some related words containing this root are:<\/p>\n

“The research shows that a Viking-age woman, found in a grave at Funen, has a family line that traces back to Indians of North America. Among other things, archaeological research at a gravesite from the years 800 to 1100 near Otterup in Galgedil on Funen uncovered the grave of a young woman.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

The word for grave<\/em> (gr\u00f6f<\/strong>) comes from the same root as the word for dig<\/em> or bury<\/em> (grafa<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
“Sj\u00e1 m\u00e1tti af geislavirku stront\u00edum \u00ed t\u00f6nnum hennar a\u00f0 h\u00fan var uppalin \u00ed Danm\u00f6rku en styrkur stront\u00edum sem upphaflega kemur \u00far drykkjarvatni og er mismunandi fr\u00e1 einum sta\u00f0 til annars, segir til um hvar f\u00f3lk b\u00fdr fyrstu \u00e1r \u00e6vinnar. \u00de\u00e1 kom \u00ed lj\u00f3s a\u00f0 erf\u00f0aefni \u00ed beinunum var af ger\u00f0inni haplotypu X2 c sem er sjaldg\u00e6ft \u00ed Evr\u00f3pu og finnst ekki \u00ed As\u00edu en er algengt \u00ed Nor\u00f0ur-Amer\u00edku.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
“It could be seen from the radioactive strontium in her teeth that she was raised in Denmark; the level of strontium that originally came from drinking water, and which differs from place to place, indicates where a person lived during the first year of their life. It was discovered that the DNA in her bones was of the halotype X2c, which is rare in Europe and not found in Asia, but is common in North America.”<\/em><\/p>\n
The word uppalinn<\/strong> (raised, brought up) comes from the verb ala<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“Scientists believe that the woman is not from Scandanavia, but a second generation immigrant to Denmark. She most likely came from Vinland, where Icelanders and Greenlanders of Icelandic heritage sailed to. The woman’s grave lies northeast and southwest and a knife had been placed with her. To S\u00f6ren Michael Sindb\u00e6k, who directs the research, this indicates that the grave is from heathen times.”<\/em><\/p>\n
