(after I composed this, I see that you say "mainland"...Newfoundland is another island, of course)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Anse_aux_Meadows
L'Anse aux Meadows from the French L'Anse-aux-Méduses or "Jellyfish Cove") is an archaeological site on the northernmost tip of the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Discovered in 1960, it is the only known site of a Norse village in Canada, and in North America outside of Greenland. The site remains the only widely-accepted instance of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact and is notable for possible connections with the attempted colony of Vinland established by Leif Ericson around 1003, or more broadly with Norse exploration of the Americas.



The village lasted for about 8 years as a base camp for explorers, and they didn't get on well with the locals...probably Beothuks. How much of their "culture" survived, or what cultural exchanges there were is hard to say. I'm sure the Beothuks had a "take away" meeting after the last longboat pulled away.

I've been studying petroglyphs for about 5 years now and I've ran across allot of peculiar carvings that are not Native American. I just found a site with allot of these in my area; Utah Arizona Border I'll include some pics for you if I can. (I'm not sure how to do that yet)

I ran it by an old Cowboy friend of mine who told me he had seen the very ones I was talking about. He told me he called in some experts for another area he found about 15-20 miles away from this site and that they (the experts) verified it was Celtic rune writing. I'll see if he will part with his sources and let you know. this is also something I'm very interested in.
I was going to start a new thread about it until I found this one, I think it is an appropriate place to post the pics.
I know this isn't Colorado but its pretty close I guess.

Ok I don't know how to post pic's from off my computer or if its even possible. Perhaps someone could inform me how to do this. Please and thank you. Just pm me the instructions.

I'm taking another route with this, that is I'm sending the pics to sunnyway.com. I've used this site for several years and its where I learned about runes. I will share the findings when they arrive.
