Question

Archeological evidence suggests that conflict with the local Native American population may have led to the eventual abandonment of L'Anse aux Meadows. The settlement's walls and defensive structures suggest that the Norse settlers were on edge and possibly fearful of attack from the indigenous people in the area. Additionally, Norse sagas describe skirmishes and battles with the Skraelings, the Norse term for the Native American people they encountered. Starvation and disease would not explain the defensive structures and conflicts described in the sagas, and there is no evidence of conflict with British settlers as the settlement predates any known British presence in the region.
