Title A name given to the resource The Kensington Runestone Subject The topic of the resource Photograph - Archaeological Remains Description An account of the resource The Kensington runestone is one of several runestones found in the American Midwest. Olof Ohman claimed to have discovered it in 1898 near Kensington, Minnesota. The stone describes an expedition by Swedes and Norwegians to the area in the fourteenth century. Scholarly opinion holds that it is a fake, and perhaps an attempt by recent Scandinavian immigrants to claim acceptance in the area by virtue of their ancestry. However, there are still a small number of people who seek to prove its authenticity.

Title A name given to the resource The Gjermundbu Helmet Subject The topic of the resource Photograph - Archaeological Remains Description An account of the resource The Gjermundbu helmet is the only Viking Age helmet that has been found in Norway. It was found in a burial mound near Haugsbygda in Ringerike in 1943 along with remains of mail armour, 2 spears, 2 axes, 4 shield bosses, spurs stirrups, and several bits from a bridle. This was obviously the grave of a well-off person equipped to ride to war if needed. The helmet itself was found in seven pieces and there was evidence of battle damage, so it had definitely been used to protect its wearer. Braathen dated the burial to the second half of the tenth century.1 It is now on display in the <a href="http://www.khm.uio.no/barn-skole/barn/vikingtid/vapen-og-gullskatter/vapen/gjermundbu.html" target="_blank">Kulturhistorisk museum</a> in Oslo, Norway. The World-Tree Project has a mask based on this helmet that you can print out and colour in.

Title A name given to the resource Viking Comb Subject The topic of the resource Archaeological artefacts Description An account of the resource A Viking comb and a bronze pin found at Larne, County Antrim, and are on display in Ulster museum, Both items were found in 1840 in a male Viking grave dating to the tenth century. Although television and film often depict Vikings as muddy, filthy and shaggy-haired, the reality is that Vikings took care of their appearance. Combs are a common find, and, like this one, are often well-decorated suggesting that they were valued. They would usually be made of bone or antler and could even have their own cases.

Title A name given to the resource Tjängvide (I) Picture Stone from Gotland Subject The topic of the resource Photograph - Archaeological Remains Description An account of the resource Tjängvide I (G 110) dates from c.700-800 AD and is now on display at <a href="http://historiska.se/home/" target="_blank">Statens historiska museum</a> in Stockholm. It is one of several Gotlandic picture stones with similar motifs; a ship under sail below and a scene that appears to be a welcome to Valhalla above. In the upper scene, a man rides the eight-legged horse Sleipnir. A woman appears to be offering him a horn to drink, while figures fight in the background, in front of a hall that may be Valhalla. An alternative interpretation is that it is Sigurd riding his horse Grani, itself an offspring of Sleipnir, and being greeted by Brynhildr or Grímhildr. The story of the Volsungs was very popular in Scandinavia in the Viking Age and features on other picture stones and runestones. There are two bands of runes on this stone. One on the left of the upper image is a rune row. The other, on the right side of the ship image reads: <ul> <li>B ... (r)aisti stainin aft iurulf bruþur sin ÷ sikuif(i)r(t)(u)(a)(n)k(i)sifil</li> <li>B ... raised the stone in memory of Hjôrulfr/Jórulfr, his brother ...</li> </ul> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Berig Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Wikimedia Commons Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Wikimedia Commons Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 01/03/2008 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Administrator Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource (c) Berig (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC BY-SA 4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0)], via Wikimedia Commons Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpg Language A language of the resource English, Old Norse Type The nature or genre of the resource PhysicalObject Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 700 AD, 800 AD, Viking Age, Sweden, Gotland Drinking Horns Gotland Picture Stones Rune stones Runeinnskrifter Runeinskrifter Runes / Runer Runestein Runesten Runestones Runic Runic inscriptions Runinskrifter Seafaring Ships Sweden Valhalla Valkyries Valkyrjer Viking Age Warfare Warriors Writing https://www.worldtreeproject.org/files/original/90532e2af378bb969adf4288b270292e.jpg 18bc99be6c18d03be9712cbc1fb3fd69 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Orkney Viking Heritage Project Subject The topic of the resource Viking heritage; Orkney; reception; doctoral training Description An account of the resource The Orkney Viking Heritage Project was a training programme for PhD students and early career researchers in the field of Old Norse-Icelandic and Viking Studies (ONIVS), which aimed to extend academic research about the Viking diaspora and its tangible and non-tangible heritage in the British Isles. The Project addressed the evident skills gap in the Strategic Area of Heritage and engaged with the Emerging Theme of Translating Cultures. It comprised a Preparatory Workshop in Oxford bringing together academics, young scholars and heritage professionals, and a Field School in Orkney providing hands-on experience of a heritage landscape, and enabled the translation of findings into accessible multi-media formats for public dissemination as exhibition resources. The theme of the 2012 Midlands Viking Symposium was linked to the Project.

Viking swords Description An account of the resource <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/dec/27/archaeology-vikings-sword" target="_blank">An account in The Guardian</a> (27 December 2008) discusses how a modern collector had taken a sword thought to be made by the famous smith Ulfberht to the Wallace Collection, where it was found to be a fake. The sword was not of the same high quality as the genuine swords from Ulfberht's forge. This led to further analysis of other swords, and the discovery that many were not of the high quality associated with the Ulfberht swords. Clearly there was a lot of forgery going on.
