This volume explores the fascinating artefacts uncovered during the 2000-2003 excavations of the Viking town of Kaupang. It offers insight into the lives of the town’s residents, their origins, trades, and trading connections through a detailed presentation of objects found.
An in-depth look at Kaupang’s artefacts reveals the daily life and diverse activities of its Viking inhabitants.
Edited by Dagfinn Skre, this third volume showcases a variety of artefacts including metal jewellery, ornaments, gemstones, vessel glass, pottery, soapstone finds, whetstones, and textile-production tools. Each item is carefully described, dated, and examined for its geographical origin, providing a comprehensive understanding of the material culture.
The richness and variety of artefacts from Kaupang set it apart from other Viking sites. The town’s population of around 400-600 people lived in close quarters, engaging in a wide array of production and trade activities. Thanks to well-preserved stratigraphic layers from the early 9th century, precise dating of the finds, buildings, and associated activities is possible.
This volume is richly illustrated, offering a vivid glimpse into the vibrant life of a Viking trading hub.
