Vikings had a settlement in North America exactly one thousand years ago, centuries before Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, a study says.
Scientists say a new dating technique analysing tree rings has provided evidence that Vikings occupied a site in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1021AD.
It has long been known that Europeans reached the Americas before Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492.
But this is the first time researchers have suggested an exact date.

The Americas were already 'discovered' somewhere between 15k and 30k years before the Vikings got there by people either crossing the Beringia land bridge or possibly following the coast in small boats from the Pacific Coast of northern Asia.
