Abstract

Explore more Bente Philippsen et al. "Single-year radiocarbon dating anchors Viking Age trade cycles in time." So archaeologists haven't been able to date Viking-era artifacts precisely enough to explain the Vikings' emergence on the global stage. But even with the extra calibration, Philippsen couldn't narrow the possible age range of a given layer enough to know exactly when Vikings first arrived or when long-distance trading networks reached the town. In exchange, vendors probably offered the early Vikings beads and brooches that would become the ubiquitous hallmarks of the Viking Age. [Extracted from the article]
