22. Vikings / The European Prospect, 1000
Lectures and lecturing
The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210)
In the first part of this lecture, Professor Freedman discusses the emergence of the Vikings from Scandinavia in the ninth and tenth centuries. The Vikings were highly adaptive, raiding (the Carolingian Empire), trading (Byzantium and the Caliphate) or settling (Greenland and Iceland) depending on local conditions. Through their wide-ranging travels, the Vikings created networks bringing into contact parts of the world that were previously either not connected or minimally so. Professor Freedman concludes the lecture, and the course, by considering what's been accomplished between 284 and 1000. Although Europe in the year 1000 experienced many of the same problems as did the Roman Empire 284 where we began -- population decline and lack of urbanization, among others -- the end of the early Middle Ages also arguable heralds the emergence of Europe and Christendom as cultural constructs and sets the stage for the rise of the West.

The Stone ships (Skeppssättning)(Nordic bronze age - Viking age)
Ship settings
The Stone ship or ship setting was an early burial custom, characteristically Scandinavian but also found in Northern Germany and the Baltic states. The grave or cremation burial is surrounded by tightly or loosely fit slabs or stones in the outline of a ship. They are often found in grave fields, but are sometimes far from any other archaeological remains. Excavations have shown that they are usually from the Nordic Bronze Age or from the Germanic Iron Age, the Vendel Age and the Viking Age.
The largest known stone ship is the mostly destroyed Jelling stone ship in Denmark, which was at least 170 metres long.
