题目材料:
The Icelandic sagas transmit tales of Viking exploration a thousand years ago. In Erik the Red's
saga, Gudrid Thorbjarnardottir and her husband, Thorfinn Karlsefni, journey to North America and
return to Thorfinn's family estate in Reynisnes, Iceland. In the Saga of the Greenlanders, they return to
Iceland, but settle at Glaumbaer, where archaeologists recently found remains of a large longhouse. Aside
from this longhouse's grand scale, which ties it to people of Gudrid and Thorfinn's stature, other evidence
links it to the North American expedition. Its straight walled design differs from the bowed-wall
construction typical of Icelandic longhouses, but strongly resembles Norse structures uncovered in
Newfoundland. Moreover, it is unlikely that any other family could have built such a significant
longhouse without being mentioned in the sagas.
