L'Anse 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 most famous site of a Norse or Viking settlement in North America outside Greenland.
Dating to around the year 1000, L'Anse aux Meadows is the only site widely accepted as evidence of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. It is notable for its possible connection with the attempted colony of Vinland established by Leif Erikson around the same period or, more broadly, with Norse exploration of the Americas. It was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1978.
==Etymology==
The site now known as L'Anse aux Meadows was first recorded as ''Anse à la Médée'' ("the Médée's Cove") on a French nautical chart made in 1862. The toponym probably referred to a ship named after the Greek mythological figure of Medea, which would have been a typical name for seagoing vessels at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/nl/meadows/visit/ac.aspx )〕 The cove facing the modern village of L'Anse aux Meadows is still named Médée Bay.〔
How the village itself came to be named "L'Anse aux Meadows" is not clear. Parks Canada, which manages the site, states that the current name was anglicized from "Anse à la Médée" after English speakers settled in the area.〔 Another possibility is that "L'Anse aux Meadows" is a corruption of the French designation "L'Anse aux Méduses", which means "Jellyfish Cove".〔W. B. Hamilton, ''Place Names of Atlantic Canada'' (1996), p. (226. )〕 The shift from "Méduses" to "Meadows" may have occurred because the landscape in the area tends to be open, with meadows.〔E. Wahlgren, ''The Vikings and America'' (2000), p. 124.〕
