Document Summary
West (inuit: the diverse and significant human geographies of precolonial north america (see readings, too) Lecture outline: contacts: historical geographies of globalization, prelude to colonialism: the norse, cannibals and cursing: columbus and the new world , putting america on the map, assignment 2. The human history of the continent is a reminder that north america has never been an isolated or separate part of the planet; it was certainly not pristine . The geographic networks of globalization that we speak about today have long histories. In the 15th century (and earlier), connections across extensive distances were already present, in north america and elsewhere. That said, the continental contact and interaction of lifeworlds, from the late 15th century onward, was profoundly transformational, on all sides. Earliest known european settlement in the new world dates to about 1000 bp. The remains of a norse village were excavated starting in 1961 by the norwegian explorers and archaeologists anne stein ingstad and helge ingstad.
