Question

As the Norse starved to death, why didn’t they eat the fish in the fjords?

Answer 1

Answer:

They did eat fish; carbon-14 dating of human bone has shown that food taken from the sea constituted a big part of the diet of the Norse people who lived in Greenland between the 9th and the 15th centuries

Explanation:

the absence of fish bone in the middens does not prove that the Norse did not eat fish. Not only will fish bone rapidly decay in a midden, more likely they never got therein the first place—fish bone is a food source highly appreciated by, e. g., birds, dogs and pigs.
