Viking Settlements and Viking Society (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789979549239)

The Viking congresses bring together scholars of archaeology, philology, history, toponymy, numismatics and a number of other disciplines to discuss the Viking Age from a variety of viewpoints. This volume contains 31 peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the 16th Viking congress held in Reykjav k and Reykholt in Iceland in August 2009. It lives up to the interdisciplinary challenge by covering a wide range of subjects, rooted in the past, but connecting to the present with a discussion of the role of Viking studies in education and their contribution to understanding the environmental issues of the present.
