Vikings, Vikings and more Vikings
Wednesday September 17, 2008
Recently, several archaeological discoveries involving Vikings have been made:
- Viking graves in central Sweden
Six grave sites were found in Lännäs outside of Örebro. Check out the item at the Local.
- Viking shield near Trelleborg
The round wooden shield may date to the 10th century. Get more info in the brief notice at the Earth Times.
- Unconventional Viking Age village
Recent excavations at the Old Man of Hoy in the Isles of Orkney reveal that the rocky towers that pose a challenge to day's climbers were inhabited during the Middle Ages. Norman Hammond of the UK TimesOnline has an informative article.
