Description
The following clip shows an attempt at reconstructing a Viking Age shield boss (type R564). The purpose of the forging was to better understand the various steps involved in shield boss construction processes by experimental archaeology.
This has served to bring out a number of new aspects in Viking Age round shield research (http://combatarchaeology.org/research-2/round-shields-and-martial-practices-of-the-viking-age/).
This part of the project was undertaken in collaboration with blacksmith Tord Bergelin (Thor's Forge) and the Holma Foundation.
