RELICS OF NORSE TOWN
FOUND BY EXPLORER
COPENHAGEN, (U P )— Inter-
i esting archeological discoveries
1 have just been reported by Dr.
Paul Noerlund, a Danish explorer
1 upon his return to Copenhagen
from Greenland.
According to
'Dr. Noerlund he discovered the
foundations of a cathedral and
a bishop's palace near Igaliko,
Greenland, where the Norsemen
had lived under the reign of Eric
the Red. The buildings covered
an area of about flve-and-a-half
acres. They also found a skeleton
with a Bishop’s staff beside it
cut out of a ' walrus tusk. The
skeleton is belelved that of John
Sverystore an adopted son of
King Sverre.
In the neighborhood of Loom-
andagaarden Dr. Noerlund found
the remains of another church he-
lioved to have been erected by the
wife of Eric the Red.
