  • The History of Ancient Vinland

    The History of Ancient Vinland

    This compilation © Phoenix E-Books UK THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT VINLAND BY THORMOD TORFASON. Translated from the Latin of 1705 by PROF. CHARLES G. HERBERMANN, PH D., LL. D., WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN GILMARY SHEA. NEW YORK: JOHN G. SHEA, 1891. INTRODUCTION. The work of Torfaeus, a learned Icelander, which is here presented was the first book in which the story of the discovery of Vinland by the Northmen was made known to general readers. After the appearance of his work, the subject slumbered, until Rafn in this century attempted to fix the position of the Vinland of Northern accounts. Since that time scholars have been divided. Our leading his torians, George Bancroft, Hildreth, Winsor, Elliott, Palfrey, regard voyages by the Norsemen southward from Greenland as highly probable, but treat the sagas as of no historical value, and the attempt to trace the route of the voyages, and fix the localities of places mentioned, as idle, with such vague indications as these early accounts, committed to writing long after the events described, can possibly afford. Toulmin Smith, Beamish, Reeves and others accepted the Norseman story as authentic, and Dr. B. F. De Costa, Hors- ford and Baxter are now the prominent advocates and adherents of belief in the general accuracy of the Vinland narratives. As early as 1073 Adam of Bremen spoke of Vinland, a country where grape vines grew wild, and in 1671 Montanus, followed in 1702 by Campanius, the chronicler of New Swe den, alluded to its discovery. Peringskjold in 1697 published some of the sagas and thus brought the question more defin before scholars but a in itively ; Torfaeus, man well versed the history of his native island, in the book here given col lected from the priestly and monastic writings all that was accessible in his day.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register.

    Risk Assessment: Asset Identification & Characterization

    This Working Draft Submittal is a preliminary draft document and is not to be used as the basis for final design, construction or remedial action, or as a basis for major capital decisions. Please be advised that this document and associated deliverables have not undergone internal reviews by URS. SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: ASSET IDENTIFICATION & CHARACTERIZATION SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ASSETS Overview An inventory of geo-referenced assets in Rensselaer County has been created in order to identify and characterize property and persons potentially at risk from the identified hazards. Understanding the type and number of hazards that exist in relation to known hazard areas is an important step in the process of formulating the risk assessment and quantifying the vulnerability of the municipalities that make up Rensselaer County. For this plan, six key categories of assets have been mapped and analyzed using GIS data provided by Rensselaer County, with some additional data drawn from other public sources: 1. Improved property: This category includes all developed properties according to parcel data provided by Rensselaer County and equalization rates from the New York State Office of Real Property Services. Impacts to improved properties are presented as a percentage of each community’s total value of improvements that may be exposed to the identified hazards. 2. Emergency facilities: This category covers all facilities dedicated to the management and response of emergency or disaster situations, and includes emergency operations centers (EOCs), fire stations, police stations, ambulance stations, shelters, and hospitals. Impacts to these assets are presented by tabulating the number of each type of facility present in areas that may be exposed to the identified hazards.

Schuyler City College, CUNY Introduction Almost ten thousand years of human prehistory are buried in the shores, peninsulas, and islands on which New York City and its satellite communities stand today.1 Between 14,000 B. C. and 10, 000 B. C. the final retreat of the Wisconsin ice sheet modified and opened the harbor area. Human population was then able to enter the estuary and lower valley of the Hudson by following two natural migration corridors. Movement east and west was possible along the coastal plain, while access to the interior followed the river and its valley that ran over 200 miles to the north. Once Man entered the region he settled in. Bands of Paleo-Indian hunter-gatherers and their archaic descendants found an area rich in natural resources. A complex interfacing of salt and fresh water provided marine, estuarine, and riparian sources of food. On land an even broader transition between three major physiographic provinces-New England Upland (Manhattan and Westchester County), New Jersey Lowland, and Atlantic Coastal Plain (Staten Island and Long Island)-greatly enriched the range and variety of available fauna and flora.

Box 169 Grimsby, ON L3M 4G3 Re: 133 & 137 Main Street East Dear Sir: We have been retained as heritage structural consultants for the proposed relocation of the Nelles House at 133 Main Street East in Grimsby. While we have not yet had time to develop the complete design and details for the proposed relocation, we have looked at the house and we are confident that it can be successfully moved and restored. We have reviewed your comments in your letter of July 22, 2019 to the IBI Group, specifically items 2 & 4 in the comments on the HIA. Item 2 requests clarification regarding the preservation of the stone foundation when the dwelling is moved. We believe that preservation of the visible portion of the stone foundation between grade and the brick would meet the intent of the designating bylaw and the approach which we have used on previous similar projects is to salvage the stone from the foundation, place the building on a new concrete foundation constructed with a shelf in the concrete, and re-lay the salvaged stone so no concrete is visible in the finished project. In cases where the stone wall is of particular importance, we have documented the positions of the stones and replaced them exactly as originally located on the building, although in most cases the use of the salvaged material laid in a pattern matching the original is sufficient to meet the intent.

    Chapter 2 Yeardley's Fort (44Pg65)

    CHAPTER 2 YEARDLEY'S FORT (44PG65) INTRODUCTION In this chapter the fort and administrative center of Flowerdew at 44PG65 are examined in relation to town and fortification planning and the cultural behavior so displayed (Barka 1975, Brain et al. 1976, Carson et al. 1981; Barka 1993; Hodges 1987, 1992a, 1992b, 1993; Deetz 1993). To develop this information, we present the historical data pertaining to town development and documented fortification initiatives as a key part of an overall descriptive grid to exploit the ambiguity of the site phenomena and the historic record. We are not just using historic documents to perform a validation of archaeological hypotheses; rather, we are trying to understand how small-scale variant planning models evolved regionally in a trajectory away from mainstream planning ideals (Beaudry 1988:1). This helps refine our perceptions of this site. The analysis then turns to close examination of design components at the archaeological site that might reveal evidence of competence or "mental template." These are then also factored into a more balanced and meaningful cultural interpretation of the site. 58 59 The site is used to develop baseline explanatory models that are considered in a broader, multi-site context in Chapter 3. Therefore, this section will detail more robust working interpretations that help lay the foundations for the direction of the entire study. In short, learning more about this site as a representative example of an Anglo-Dutch fort/English farmstead teaches us more about many sites struggling with the same practical constraints and planning ideals that Garvan (1951) and Reps (1972) defined.
