The primary focus is the steppe influence on the development of
Scandinavian-Rus' culture. It illustrates the effects of Turkic
(nomadic) cultures on the evolving Scandinavian-Rus' communities in
their military technology and tactics, as well as in everyday
customs, ritual traditions and religious perceptions, whilst paying
attention to the politico-commercial necessities and possible
communication channels tying these two cultures, normally
considered to be distinct, together. The arguments are supported by
a multi-disciplinary analysis of diverse historical and
archaeological materials occasionally supplemented with linguistic
evidence. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of the relations
of the Scandinavians active in the 'East' had with Turkic groups,
and bring (the so far neglected) steppes into Viking studies in
general. The book will fill a serious scholarly gap in the field of
Viking Studies and will be read by both academics and students
interested in the archaeological and historical sources concerned
with the traditions of the 'Eastern Vikings'.
