That is a treasure trove of info, particularly for a Viking. Thanks!
There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R. Tolkien

I think most of the find dates to a couple of centuries after the Viking raids.  It's still the Norse culture but they aren't the big scary raiders anymore.  Most of the textiles are from the end of the Norse occupation of Greenland - about the 14th Century.
