Book excerpt: The Vikings originated in Scandinavia, in countries now known as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The Vikings period covered from about the sack of Lindisfarne 793 CE to The Battle of Hastings 1066 CE. Our knowledge of the Vikings is hampered by the lack of recorded history. Archaeological finds are being revisited and there are still more being made, adding to our knowledge.The Vikings artefacts provide an excellent opportunity to learn how their furniture, equipment and accoutrements were made, used, and function, as well as a starting point for learning about their culture and time in history.This volume contains a collection of knowledge amassed over 30 years in the pursuit of a better historical presentation. It sets out the why's and wherefores, and highlights the traps and pitfalls for the unwary, so that you the reader can start or continue on the journey to a more accurate presentation for the purpose of living history, re-enactment, a display in a museum or just an interest of history.
