Paperback. Condition: New. Recent studies have reshaped the understanding of the early Viking Age power center, near Erritsø just a few kilometers from Fredericia in Southern Denmark. Investigations at the site, which in many ways resembles the grand royal halls at Lejre in Zealand, have revealed significant new insights into the Iron Age and Viking Age around the royal estate. Notably, Erritsø's strategic location, where all transportation routes between north, south, east, and west converge, both by land and by sea.This anthology presents several similar sites in Northern Europe by multiple top international researchers: from Norway, Sweden, North Germany and England. Similarities and differences in time and space are examined, providing a nuanced understanding of the international power dynamics of this period. Notably, the latest research results and datings provided by the studies at Erritsø are presented. Here, the acquisition of the majority of c-14 datings and chronological modeling of c-14 data on such halls has significantly refined the dating framework.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
