A brief news item concerning the work which suggested that the Vinland map belonging to Yale University is of 20th century manufacture. Investigation of the ink by the ion microprobe indicated a high proportion of titanium; x-ray diffraction disclosed a high concentration of anatase; scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis showed the anatase to be present as spheroidal particles indistinguisable from precipitated anatase pigments first made in the 1920's. -- AATA
