what did a viking community looklike?
THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING WAS THE'LONGHOUSE.''IT RESEMBLED AN UPTURNED'LONGSHIP AND WAS THE FOCUS OF'ALL VILLAGE ACTIVITY.''OTHER BUILDINGS INCLUDED BARNS,'FORGES, STABLES AND CATTLESHEDS.'shielings WERE HUTS USED ON THE HILLS IN SUMMER.
CONSTRUCTION VARIED WITH'LOCATION, CLIMATE, AND'AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS.''NEAR FORESTS, BUILDINGS WERE'MADE OF WOOD AND THATCHED WITH'REEDS, OR WERE MADE OF WATTLE'AND DAUB.''IN BLEAKER AREAS, THICK STONE'WALLS SUPPORTED HEAVY TURF'ROOFS.
viking peoples were farmers
ELDEST SON INHERITS LAND.''YOUNGER RELATIVES GET NO LAND.''THIS CREATED A CONSTANT NEED TO FIND NEW FARMLAND.
SMALL HOLDINGS.''USE OF OXEN FOR PLOUGHING.''LIMITED NUMBER OF OTHER FARM'ANIMALS AND POULTRY TO MEET'NEEDS OF FAMILY OR VILLAGE.''HORSES REGARDED AS SUPERIOR'ANIMALS.'USED FOR RIDING AND TRAINED TO  FIGHT ONE ANOTHER.'

skalds were travelling poets.''vikings loved storytelling and  poetry
SKALDS COMPOSED POEMS ABOUT THE'KINGS AND ACTED AS TEACHERS.''THEY WERE ALSO GREAT WARRIORS!''THEY HAD TO FIGHT IN BATTLES SO'THEY COULD WRITE ABOUT THEM IN'POEMS CALLED drapas.''GOOD POEMS BROUGHT RICH REWARDS'AND INSPIRED THE VIKINGS.
VIKINGS BELIEVED IN GODS AND'GODDESSES WHO FOUGHT WITH TROLLSAND DRAGONS.''THOR WAS SPECIAL TO THE VIKINGS'BECAUSE HE CONTROLLED THE'WEATHER AND WAS A GREAT WARRIOR.'SKALDS HAD TO KNOW ALL THE'LEGENDS OF THE GODS, AND INVENT'NEW ONES.!
POEMS WERE NOT WRITTEN DOWN, AS VIKINGS DID NOT USE PAPER.''CARVING RUNES TOOK A LONG TIME, SO LEGENDS WERE SPREAD BY WORD'OF MOUTH.''MUCH LATER DESCENDENTS LIKE'ari the wise IN ICELAND BEGAN TOWRITE DOWN THE STORIES AND'POEMS.
TRADING CENTRES DEVELOPED IN'EACH OF THE THREE VIKING'COUNTRIES.''MARKET TOWNS ATTRACTED SKILLED'WORKERS.''TRADERS BOUGHT NEWS OF EVENTS INFAR OFF PLACES AND WERE HIGHLY'RESPECTED.''VIKING GOLD AND SILVER COINS'DATE FROM AROUND 800 A.D.

birka, AN ISLAND ON lake malar'BECAME IMPORTANT DUE TO EASE OF TRANSPORT ALONG RIVERS AND LAKESTO ALL PARTS OF SWEDEN.''IT WAS A CENTRE FOR TRADE WITH'RUSSIA AND THE NEAR EAST.
hedeby, ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE jutland peninsula WAS A'MAJOR CENTRE FOR IMPORTED GOODS.'IT BECAME IMPORTANT FOR THE'MANUFACTURE OF CERAMICS, GLASS- WARE AND FABRICS.
where do we find the recorded''history of the vikings?

CARVING IS FOUND ON MUCH THAT'REMAINS OF VIKING TIMES.''UTENSILS LIKE BOWLS WERE CARVED'FROM WOOD OR SOAPSTONE.''SHIPS AND CARTS WERE DECORATED'WITH ELABORATE CARVINGS AND'BURIED WITH VIKING KINGS.''ANIMALS AND GODS WERE POPULAR'DESIGNS.
NEEDLEWORK SHOWS VIKING EVENTS'ON FRAGMENTS OF TAPESTRY FOUND'IN BURIAL SHIPS.''CLOTHING THAT HAS SURVIVED WAS'MADE OF WOOL, LINEN, VELVET AND'SILK, AND WAS BRIGHTLY COLOURED'AND OFTEN DECORATED WITH GOLD'AND SILK THREAD.
JEWELLERY WAS WORN BY BOTH SEXESTO SHOW WEALTH AND STATUS, AND'WAS OFTEN GIVEN AS A REWARD.''BROOCHES OF GOLD, SILVER AND'BRONZE WERE USED AS FASTENERS.''HIGHLY DECORATED BUCKLES AND'BRIGHTLY COLOURED GLASS AND'AMBER BEADS WERE VERY POPULAR.
vikings needed to be highly'skilled people.''BECAUSE THEY LIVED IN SMALL,'ISOLATED COMMUNITIES IN HARSH'CONDITIONS, EVERYONE NEEDED A'WIDE RANGE OF SKILLS SUCH AS'FARMING, BUILDING, FISHING,'WEAVING, BLACKSMITHING, TRADING'AND CARVING.'
viking raids''VIKING RAIDS ARE THOUGHT TO HAVESTARTED ON 8TH JUNE 793 WITH THESACKING OF THE MONASTERY ON THE HOLY ISLAND OF LINDISFARNE.''IT SEEMS AS IF THE IMAGE OF THE VIKING AS A SAVAGE BARBARIAN HAS*
BEEN EXAGGERATED, BUT THERE IS'EVIDENCE THAT THEY STOLE A LOT'OF PROPERTY, AND DESTROYED MUCH'THAT THEY LEFT BEHIND.''FEAR OF THE VIKINGS WAS SPREAD'BY THE MONKS, AS THE WEALTHY'MONASTERIES WERE A PRIME TARGET'OF THE EARLY VIKING RAIDS.
VIKINGS FROM NORWAY INVADED'BRITAIN BETWEEN 793 AND 900.''NORWEGIAN VIKINGS WERE'RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRST RAIDS IN ENGLAND IN 793.''THEY SET UP PIRATE BASES ON THE SCOTTISH ISLANDS, AND FROM THEREATTACKED SCOTLAND, THE ISLE OF'*
MAN, AND MANY OF THE COASTAL'TOWNS OF ENGLAND.''THEY ALSO ATTACKED IRELAND, A'WEALTHY BUT POORLY DEFENDED'COUNTRY, WHERE THE PEOPLE'REFERED TO THEM AS fin gaill OR'FAIR STRANGERS.''BY 845, THE VIKINGS HAD RAIDING'BASES IN THE BEST HARBOURS.
THE MAIN INTEREST OF THE SWEDISHVIKINGS LAY EAST IN RUSSIA'RATHER THAN EUROPE.''FOR 400 YEARS THE SWEDES HAD'BEEN TRADING WITH THE SLAVIC'PEOPLE.''THEY NEVER CONQUERED RUSSIA,'PREFERING TO TAKE CONTROL OF'TOWNS AND FORTIFY TRADING'CENTRES.
THE DANISH VIKINGS RAIDED'BRITAIN FROM 835 TO 886 WHEN'THEY SIGNED A TREATY'ESTABLISHING THE DANELAW.''DANES FIRST ATTACKED THE TOWNS'OF SHEPPEY AND CHARMOUTH.''THIS WAS THE START OF A CONSTANTSTREAM OF SHIPS FROM DENMARK,'*
LOOTING ALONG THE COAST OF'BRITAIN.''THE ANGLO-SAXON CHRONICLE'DESRIBES THE ARRIVAL IN 865 OF AGREAT HEATHEN HORDE.''THIS ARMY OF 500 - 1000 MEN WAS'LEAD BY IVAR THE BONELESS, UBBI,AND HALVDAN, THE THREE SONS OF'RAGNAR HAIRY BREEKS, *
WHO HAD'CONQUERED PARIS.''THE THREE BROTHERS LANDED IN'EAST ANGLIA AND MOVED NORTH,'RAIDING TOWNS FOR SUPPLIES AS'THEY WENT.''THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'HEAR OF THE danegeld.
THE POPULATION WAS GROWING FAST'IN ALL THE VIKING HOMELANDS, ANDTHERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF FARMING AND GRAZING LAND FOR FOOD'PRODUCTION.''PLUNDERING VALUABLES PROVIDED'GOODS TO TRADE FOR FOODSTUFFS.
THEIR GODS WERE PORTRAYED AS'HEROIC AND WARLIKE CHARACTERS,'INDEPENDANT AND BRAVE.''THE YOUNG MEN NEEDED LITTLE'ENCOURAGEMENT TO WANT TO'IMITATE THESE CHARACTERISTICS.
A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION'PRODUCED THE VIKING SAILING'SHIPS IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY.''NOT JUST THE WAR SHIP, BUT ALSO'A TRADING SHIP KNOWN AS A knorr,WHICH OFTEN FOLLOWED VIKING'RAIDERS TO BRING HOME THE'PLUNDER.
viking longships were the'hi-tech marvel of their time,'FIRST BUILT AROUND 700 A.D.
DESIGNED TO BE LIGHT AND FAST'WITH A SHALLOW DRAUGHT.''IN A GOOD WIND THEY COULD REACH'A SPEED OF 10 KNOTS, AND'COVER 200KM PER DAY.
SAILS OF ABOUT 90 SQUARE METRES,MADE FROM LINEN OR WOOL.''HUNG FROM A HORIZONTAL POLE'11 METRES LONG.''SAILS DECORATED WITH STRIPS OF'DIFFERENT COLOURS.''REINFORCED WITH ROPE.''OARS - TYPICALLY 16 PAIRS.
A TYPICAL VIKING WARSHIP WAS 5 MWIDE BY 23 M LONG.''IT COULD CARRY A CREW OF 35-40'MEN, TOGETHER WITH PLUNDER OR'ABOUT 30 PRISONERS, UP TO AN'OVERALL TOTAL OF ABOUT THIRTY'TONNES.''RANGE ONLY LIMITED BY PROVISIONSCARRIED.
NAVIGATION WAS A MIXTURE OF'SKILL AND GUESSWORK.''ROUGH DIRECTIONS WERE GIVEN BY'WORD OF MOUTH.''SEA CURRENTS, CLOUD FORMATIONS,'THE POSITION OF THE SUN AT NOON,OR THE STARS AT NIGHT GAVE AN'IDEA OF THEIR POSITION.
THE VIKINGS LEFT THEIR HOMELANDSTO GO A-VIKING IN AUTUMN, AFTER'THE HARVEST HAD BEEN GATHERED.'''THEY RETURNED HOME IN SPRING,'IN TIME TO PLANT THE NEW CROPS.
