A very great deal has happened in the archaeology of Norse Greenland in recent decades, and the aim of the book has been to produce an overview of the wide range of results from recent research, which have given us many more pieces of evidence to juggle on how life was in the settlements from settlement in the late 10th century to the depopulation in the middle of the 15th century. In several cases have made it possible to re-assess the results of earlier scholarship in a new light. All of this has yielded greater insight into life in the medieval Norse settlements in Greenland.
