Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Vikings were present in North America in 1021 CE, according to a radiocarbon study that analyzed wooden artifacts recovered from an archaeological site in Newfoundland ( Nature 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03972-8 ). The investigation used site artifacts known to have belonged to the Vikings to pinpoint when Europeans traversed the Atlantic Ocean, which marks the beginning of the time that knowledge and biological material could have been exchanged between Europe and the Americas. Researchers have long known that about 1,000 years ago, Norse seafarers settled on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland at a site known as L’Anse aux Meadows. Reported estimates of the timing of this activity vary from 793 to 1066 CE. To narrow that time window, a team led by Margot Kuitems and Michael W. Dee of the University of Groningen used an accelerator mass spectrometry method to measure carbon isotope ratios in wooden artifacts that had been

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
