Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers new insights on the so-called 'Viking Age,' broadly dated to the 8th to 11th centuries. The author, a specialist in archaeology, challenges long-held beliefs about the emergence of this period and the origins of the renowned Viking swords. Through a groundbreaking analysis of a specific type of Viking sword, the author reveals a previously unknown network of workshops and craftsmen responsible for producing these iconic weapons. The book challenges the prevailing notion that Viking swords were exclusively made in Scandinavia and suggests they were crafted in major production centers, likely influenced by Carolingian and Frankish designs. The discovery of these workshops and the examination of a vast corpus of Viking swords shed light on the cultural exchange and technological advancements of the period. By reassessing the origins of Viking swords, this book provides a fresh perspective on the broader history of the Viking Age, reframing our understanding of its material culture and craftsmanship. The book's findings have significant implications for the study of Viking history and will captivate anyone interested in the era.
