Scope and Contents
This sub-series documents Carpenter's interest in a Norwegian Viking coin found in the 1950s at a Native American archaeological site in Maine – variously called the "Norse Penny," the "Maine Penny," and the "Goddard Coin." Carpenter published a short work on the subject in 2003, analyzing the purported provenance and discovery of the coin: Norse Penny (New York: Rock Foundation). The bulk of the material in the sub-series consists of correspondence with archaeologists, archivists, museum curators, scholars, colleagues, and friends on the topics of the Norse Penny, numismatics, archaeology, Viking settlement and culture, and other themes. The sub-series also contains catalog records, notes, and reprints of articles.
Series Restrictions
Use of archival sound recordings with no duplicate access copy requires advance notice.
