Description
An account of the resource
Investigations at Avaldsnes on Karmøy have provided new insights into grain cultivation. Avaldsnes was a royal estate from the time of Harald Fairhair in the ninth century. The investigations show that barley was the most common grain crop until c. 1000. After this time, wheat or oats become more common, becoming dominant c. 1300. Analysis of the weeds in the area suggests that ard-ploughing was the dominant technology up until c. 1200, after which the mouldboard plough became more common.

Description
An account of the resource
The goddess Freyja rode a wild boar called Hildisvíni and the god Freyr owned one called Gullinbursti. This is a nineteenth-century imaginative recreation of what Freyja might have looked like riding her boar.
Pigs were a source of meat in the Viking Age. The domesticated pigs kept by Vikings were descended from the Eurasian Wild Boar and probably resembled wild boar more than modern pigs. The boar was a symbol of protection, appearing as a helmet crest on some pre-Viking Age helmets. While pig bones are common on farm sites, it is not known if they were kept as herds or individually, and their ritual function is unclear.
The mythical wild boar Sæhrímnir was the source of food for the Æsir and einherjar, being cooked each day and brought back to life to provide food for the next day.

Description
An account of the resource
Sheep were an important source of milk, meat and wool. The cloth made from wool was even a form of currency in Iceland during the Viking Age. Wool was gathered by plucking the sheep or by collecting it after it had been shed naturally. They did not shear sheep.
The Gutefår or Gotlandic sheep is the oldest breed still extant in Scandinavia. It probably resembles most closely Viking Age sheep.

Description
An account of the resource
The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse from Iceland that developed from horses taken to Iceland by the original Viking settlers. It is small, often pony-sized, but very hardy.
Pagan Scandinavians ate horse meat as part of their religious observances. Hrafnkels saga tells how he had a horse that he held sacred to Freyr. It is recorded that the eating of horse flesh was banned in Iceland after the conversion to Christianity.
Horses were ridden, although some Vikings were reportedly too large to ride the diminutive horses of the time, such as Göngu-Hrólfr (Walker-Hrolf) who was the first ruler of Normandy.
Horse-fighting was a popular pastime for the Vikings. In a horse fight, two stallions would be set on each other, goaded on by their owners. The Icelandic sagas record a number of horse fights that ended badly, because one owner used his goad to hit the other owner. In the recorded instances, this led to feuds that could last generations.
