It is widely accepted that the Viking Age (c. 800-1050) stimulated
the development of long-distance, regional and local trade and
exchange networks. The clearest archaeological evidence for these
contacts is mainly in the form of silver artefacts predominantly
found in hoards in Northern and Central Europe - the Baltic zone.
However, beyond occasional national- or regional-level research,
there have been no attempts at a historically guided comparative
archaeological survey of the Baltic zone as a whole. By
investigating silver hoards and the context of their deposition,
Viking Silver, Hoards and Containers seeks to understand the
variety of functions performed by hoards; the differences in
function within regions; the hoards' relationship with trade; and
the nature and function of emporia. It also examines the extent to
which the findings mesh with literary evidence and the nature of
the different societies benefiting from the influx of silver in the
Viking Age. Crucially, the book features a catalogue, which
provides a thorough overview and update of Baltic-zone hoards.
Viking Silver, Hoards and Containers is intended for use by
students of, and specialists in, early medieval, Viking and Slavic
history and archaeology. However, it will also be a useful teaching
resource for other general courses in archaeology, anthropology and
material culture, numismatics, economic history, religious studies,
GIS and statistics.
