Two hundred years of antiquarian and archaeological interest has
generated an archive of some 1350 Viking Age amulets. These objects
are manufactured from a variety of materials, most often metals,
and were often, but not always, worn as pendants. However, all are
miniatures, objects shaped like something else tools, weapons,
animals, people, or more abstract religious symbols, including
hammers and crosses. This study examines the various types,
materials and contexts of the amulets. It documents how amulet
types have different dates and distributions, suggesting that
religious practise changed through time.
