Gallagher, Eamonn. The North Atlantic Fisheries: A Perspective (John de Courcy Ireland and David C. Sheehy, eds.). Dublin: Boole Press, Dún Laoghaire, Co., 1985. 95-107. St. Brendan's vital dates are generally agreed to be 485-577 a.d. Author assumes that the Navigatio is an accretion on some basic text of a number of stories from different scribes, put together as though a single experience but probably illustrating a lengthy period, perhaps from the 6th to the 9th centuries a.d., of Irish exploration westward across at least a major part of the North Atlantic. Portuguese cod fleets may have been fishing the Grand Banks as early as 1400 a.d., probably without benefit of knowledge of the Norse Sagas. (In French archives are documents mentioning long-established trade in Newfoundland cod which could have begun in the 15th century.) Basques arrived at the Banks about or before the beginning of the 16th century. [Sorenson] Cited in Sorenson

Information is mustered in very orderly fashion, although lacking in depth at some points, while critical judgement is sometimes suspended to accept questionable materials. He believes and gives evidence that explorers of the Classical world as well as perhaps Egyptians, Chinese, Arabs, and Vikings visited or mapped the area.

Gjessing, Gutorm. Some Problems in Northeastern Archaeology. American Antiquity 13 (1947-1948): 298-302. He accepts the view of Griffin and others that Woodland pottery originated in Asia but notes the difficulty occasioned by lack of examples in a gap of thousands of miles. What strikes him, though, is folklore. In a preliminary study of 300 tale types, not finished due to the war, he found 15 to be more or less circumboreal. Of these 14 occurred among North American Indians but only one among the Eskimo (and it was from Greenland hence might be from the Norse). This shows that the shared tales reached America before the Eskimos were established in Alaska, or else they would have shared more. [Sorenson] Cited in Sorenson

Gjessing, Gutorm. The Circumpolar Stone Age. Antiquity 27 (1953): 131-136. Despite the obvious role of Bering Strait, it is strange that "nowhere on the globe are there to be found prehistoric remains so closely related morphologically as those of North Norway . . . and those of the east coast of North America." Only a specialist in petrology can distinguish Red Paint (Maine) crescent-shaped knives (strongly reminiscent of Eskimo ulus), from the very similar so- called boot-shaped knives of North Norway. One also finds in North Norway check-stamped ware of exactly the same type as from the Eastern Woodlands. Other similarities are noted, notably quadrupeds drawn with a line running from the mouth through the neck terminating in a circular figure where the heart is supposed to be (occurs over vast areas of North America and among the Zu—i, but not the Eskimo, so supposedly the motif reached America before the latter settled around the Bering Strait).

Gjessing, Gutorm. The One-eyed God—A Study in Diffusion. Brussels, 1960. 95 pages. Only a half-page abstract. The one-eyed Norse god Oden was of Asiatic origin and suggestive of the Oriental concept of the "All Seeing Eye." One-eyed mythical beings, usually connected with the realm of the dead, occur rather commonly in East-Asiatic and Northwest American folklore. Related one-eyed masks very frequently appear on Northwest Coast petroglyphs and in Northeast Asia, Polynesia, and Melanesia (Key Islands). Two types of masks exist: (1) the blind eye is formed as a spiral, and this occurs over the whole area of distribution except the Northwest Coast; (2) the other has the blind eye as a dot or circle and is distributed from the Northwest Coast to Polynesia [sic]. These masks belong to a complex of motifs with more or less the same distribution, such as heraldic birds (in North America and North Asia the Thunderbird), non-outlined human faces, outlined crosses, and so forth.

Gjessing, Gutorm. Socio-Archaeology. Current Anthropology 16 (1975): 323-341. Unhappy with the narrowness ("logical positivism") of "the new archaeology," he insists on the need for a holistic approach, including consideration of diffusion. Page 327: Based on examples in Tegengren 1968, he notes the degree of long- distance travel and diffusion patent in Eurasian archaeology and ethnology, such as Buddha images in 7th century Scandinavia and peacock feathers in the Viking ship at Gokstad. But of course diffusion covers much more than isolated artifacts. "I do not think that we should be prepared to accept an archaeology that sidesteps the evident fact of diffusion." "It is too easy a way out . . . to suggest some kind of ecological convergence as the sole explanation of similarities . . . over wide areas." [Sorenson] Cited in Sorenson

Points out eight "practical difficulties and psychological obstacles" to carrying out research on this subject and having it received (e.g., nationalism of the South and Central American countries). "The Facts in America" includes a treatment of physical anthropological and population features he considers important. A two-page table lists 102 peoples said in the literature to be "white Indians" to some degree or other. Location, characteristics and citations are provided. Six "black groups" are also listed. The discussion also points out the presence of beards and other features associated with "whites" or "blacks" as represented in art and in anthropological field investigations. "Zoology" notes mummified dogs recalling those found in Danish sites; "horses" are shown in rock art and a "bovid" appears on a pre-Columbian Andean tapestry. "Botany" mentions in passing five plants said to be of Old World origin. "Ethnology" summarizes literature on intercontinental parallels in technology, religion, polity, architecture, art, language, and traditions. "The Facts for Europe" section summarizes Greek and Roman traditions and other possibilities, including Abou Bakr from Mali, as well as cartography. A final section claims particular crossings: Aegeans (1280 b.c.), Irish monks, Vikings, Templars, and others. [Sorenson] Cited in Sorenson

The bannerstone of northeast America is considerably like the double axe of Europe in form ("sometimes presents such a close approximation that it becomes identical and cannot be distinguished"). He grants that Holmes' supposition that European influence could have introduced the double axe might be true with reference to one form commonly classed as a bannerstone, but independent invention is likely to cover most bannerstones. The likely American origin for the form is the symbolism of the tail of the whale, a sacred animal, found around Bering Strait on the one hand and near the Beothuks of Newfoundland on the other, the bannerstone representing the form of the tail as sacred object away from the coast.

Graf, Miller. Arctic Journeys: A History of Exploration for the Northwest Passage. Series: American University Studies, Series IX, History. Vol. 121: Peter Lang, 1992. 377 pages. ISBN: 0820417459. Graf's book is not an exhaustive study of northern exploration, but is a useful history of the European search for a northwest passage to Asia, as well as of the more recent efforts (largely American) to reach the North Pole. Up to the mid-19th century, much had been learned about the islands and water passages across the northen reaches of North America, but these earlier expeditions had all originated in Europe. After mid-century, US participation increased. Graf briefly reviews pre-Norse and Norse explorations of the North Atlantic and describes "The Awakening," the quickening of interest in Western Europe that led to the Columbus voyage (not discussed) and the English and French ventures that claimed much of North America for respective monarchies. The lucrative fur trade was the magnet for these explorations. Graf treats subsequent probes through the northwest, by land as well as by sea, including the ill-fated Franklin expedition. One of the book's more valuable features is the chronological list of journeys to Arctic America found in the appendix. The list begins in 320 BCE and ends in 1981-82.

Graham-Campbell, James. The Vikings and America (book review). The Times Literary Supplement (5 December 1986): 1382. (The author) has a lively style that is a pleasure to read. He writes best on what he knows best--of the often contradictory evidence of the sagas for exploration and settlement in Greenland and Vinland. . . . There are three chapters on the European background to the Vikings' westward expansion and here Wahlgren writes with seemingly equal confidence, but deceptively so, for much of his archaeological source material is five to ten, or even thirty years out of date. . . . Of particular concern is the failure to incorporate the chief results of the most recent excavations that have taken place at L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland. . . . The problem with (this study) is that it is a book by a philologist, dressed up with photographs to which the text never makes reference. . . . What is needed is a revised edition from the publishers to correct . . . errors and to enable an archaeological update, for in all other respects this is a splendid and worthwhile book which deserves a wide readership.
