Dr. Sarah Parcak may have found a new Viking site in North America at Point Rosee, Newfoundland. How'd she do it? By satellite! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/vikings-newfoundland-1.3515747
She won the TED $1 million prize to be used for research of her choice ... it looks like it will be to prevent looting of tombs in Egypt. Egypt archeological sites are not the only ones being looted... Peru & China among others. Always neat to see technology used in a novel way!
