Sandnæs
Sandnæs, often anglicized as Sandnes, was the largest Norse farmstead in the Western Settlement of medieval Greenland.〔 Similarly with the Norwegian city of Sandnes, its name meant "Sandy Headland" in Old Norse.〔http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nes#Noun_4〕 It was settled around AD 1000〔Miller, Barbara. "(The History and Development of the Needle Case )". Accessed 16 May 2012.〕 and abandoned by the late 14th century. It was located at the site known as Kilaarsarfik〔Spelled Kilærsavik before the introduction of home rule in 1979.〕 today,〔Enghoff, Inge B. ''Meddelelser om Grønland'': ''Man and Society'' 28: "(Hunting, Fishing and Animal Husbandry at the Farm Beneath the Sand, Western Greenland )". Museum Tusculanum Press, 2003.〕 at the head of the Ameralla Fjord south of modern Nuuk's peninsula.
The farm was well-placed and possessed a large pasturage enabling its proprietors to successfully raise cattle, compared with goats and sheep at the other Western Settlement farms. It also included the area's church.〔 However, the conditions throughout the site's existence were apparently filthy.〔Buckland, P.C. & al. "(Bioarchæological and Climatological Evidence for the Fate of the Norse Farmers in Medieval Greenland )". ''Antiquity'' 70 (1996), 88–96. Accessed 16 May 2012.〕
The site has been excavated, proving among other things that the Vikings continued to trade with the American mainland after Leif Ericson's failed colonization attempt.〔Guðrún, Anna & al. ''Sailing West to Vinland.'' "(Archaeological finds in Greenland )". Accessed 16 May 2012.〕 An arrowhead likely from the Point Revenge culture of native Americans in Labrador has been found in the graveyard at Sandnæs.〔Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. ''The Viking Voyage''. "Markland and Helluland: (Archaeology )". Accessed 16 May 2012.〕 There is also evidence of iron extraction at the site.〔Nielsen, Niels. ''Meddelelser om Grønland'': "Evidence of iron extraction at Sandnes, in Greenland's west settlement". C.A. Reitzel (Copenhagen), 1936.〕
