Harvesting the Margins of the Viking World. Decentralizing Economies in Late Iron Age Fennoscandia
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 246, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, 37 col., 9 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503620183.
Summary Viking Age research has long been shaped by an 'agricultural paradigm' - a framework that centres economic and social development in the fertile plains of southern and central Scandinavia. This dominant model has marginalized alternative subsistence strategies and rendered northern regions peripheral, both geographically and conceptually. This volume challenges that orthodoxy through a new focus on the economic and cultural significance of Late Iron Age Fennoscandia. Gathering fifteen chapters from established scholars in the field, this work explores how environmentally diverse and often-overlooked northern areas were not passive peripheries. Instead they were active arenas of innovation, connectivity, and identity formation. Contributors examine mixed economies and subsistence strategies, and the movement of people, materials, and ideas across forested outlands, coastal zones, and inland trade networks. From indigenous agency to interregional exchange, this volume decentres traditional narratives to offer a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of economic life in the Late Iron Age.

Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries in Studies of the Viking Age
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 365 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 10 col., 1 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503592961.
Summary What happens when scholars cross outside the perceived 'boundaries' of their discipline? What problems arise when a scholar trained in one field employs materials or methodologies from an adjacent subject area, engaging with new sources, research methodologies, and traditions, and how can such issues be resolved? Taking as its starting point the increasing shift towards interdisciplinarity seen within Viking-age studies, this collection of essays aims to explore the benefits and pitfalls that can arise from crossing disciplinary borders in this area, and to gain new knowledge about how to address issues that have occurred in previous examples of interdisciplinary combinations. The volume draws together contributions from authors in different disciplines, among them philology, history, archaeology, literary studies, folklore studies and history of religion, in order to hold a constructive and multi-perspective discussion on the benefits and issues arising from interdisciplinary research in studies of the Viking Age. Together, these chapters aim to bridge the gap that often exists between scholars from adjacent fields of research, and in doing so, to stimulate the trend in interdisciplinary approaches to research that can improve our understanding of the past.

Viking Archaeology in Iceland, Mosfell Archaeological Project.
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2014 Paperback, XXVI 256 pages ., 83 b/w ill. 10 colour ill. 17 maps, 23 graphs, 28 b/w tables, 216 x 280 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782503544007.
The Viking North Atlantic differs significantly from the popular image of violent raids and destruction characterizing the Viking Age in Northern Europe. In Iceland, Scandinavian seafarers discovered and settled a large uninhabited island. In order to survive and succeed, they adapted lifestyles and social strategies to a new environment. The result was a new society, the Icelandic Free State. This volume examines the Viking Age in Iceland through the discoveries and excavations of the Mosfell Archaeological Project (MAP) in Iceland?s Mosfell Valley. Directed by Professor Jesse Byock with Field Director Davide Zori, MAP brings together scholars and researchers from Iceland, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the United States. The Project incorporates the disciplines of archaeology, history, saga studies, osteology, zoology, paleobotany, genetics, isotope studies, place-names studies, environmental science, and historical architecture. The decade-long research of MAP has led to the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Viking chieftain?s farmstead, including a longhouse, a pagan cremation site, a conversion-era stave church, and a Christian graveyard. The research results presented here tell the story of how the Mosfell Valley developed from a ninth-century settlement of Norse seafarers into a powerful Icelandic chieftaincy of the Viking Age.

Viking Women. Between Theory, Text, and Materiality
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 129, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 12 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503622675.
Summary This volume offers an interdisciplinary exploration of gender relations in medieval Scandinavia, focusing on the roles of women in Old Norse society. Despite decades of research, this topic continues to attract critical attention, a reflection both of its enduring relevance in medieval studies and of the ways in which it intersects with contemporary cultural discourse. Bringing together eight contributions by leading specialists, this book combines archaeology, history, literary analysis, and legal studies to shed new light on established debates and to offer insights into emerging perspectives. The chapters draw on both methodological and theoretical approaches, variously tracing connections between legendary heroines such as Brynhild and the enigmatic women of the Oseberg and Birka graves, exploring gender in the mortuary landscape, and assessing the role played by women in creating and promulgating skaldic verse. Highlighting the interplay between text and material culture, this collection presents a coherent yet multifaceted picture of women's roles in Viking Age societies.
