Vinland Map
I see that another editor removed your first attempts at contributing to Wikipedia. This is regrettable, but, having checked "On the Map" I believe it was justified. Simon Garfield shows no sign of awareness of research later than Kirsten Seaver's 2004 book "Maps, Myths and Men". In particular, he has not noticed the 2008 Archaeometry paper to which Seaver contributed (reference 3 in the Wikipedia article), which revealed that the Crocker Laboratory measurements of elements in the Vinland Map and its associated documents are, for some unknown reason, around 1,000 times too small.
