40: Researching the Viking Age

Life in Norway Show

Life in Norway Show Episode 40: A look inside a research centre focused on the Viking Age.

Just a few episodes ago I spoke to a Viking ship archaeologist. Today I'm returning to the subject of the Norsemen and talking to researcher Keith Ruiter who focuses his studies on the Viking Age.

We talked about the importance of researching historical time periods, and just how we go about doing that. We also cover why learning languages, including how to read Old Norse, is so important to the work.
