The Atlantic Corporation (1021-1400)
Abstract
AbstractThis report presents a technological audit of Norse activities in the North Atlantic between 1021 and 1400 CE. By filtering historical narratives through the lens of forensic engineering, traceology, and metrology, we demonstrate that Norse presence in North America was not a series of sporadic explorations but a structured, long-term industrial enterprise. Evidence includes identical tool-mark striations (traceology), standardized units of measurement (32.4 cm), and biological "contaminants" indicating a closed-loop logistical system.
