FOR LARCH WOOD CHESTS
(from America)
"So Vinland was never colonized, though knowledge of it ... --even a certain amount of intercourse --persisted in the Norse lands for centuries, as is shown by, among other things, the survival in Greenland of chests made apparently of larch wood from North America." Hugh Brogan, 1985, p.
"The archaeologists found thirty-two finely constructed wooden chests--so many that they must have been items for trade. The chests were made of fir, spruce, and tamarack. The tamarack could have come only from America." (Irwin 1980)
