The picture that emerges from this volume is of the Viking Age as a vibrant and complex period of movement and change. Highlights include James Graham-Campbell's survey of the metallic wealth of the Isle of Man, Mark Redknap's comprehensive account of Viking Age finds in Wales, Orri Vésteinsson's investigation of the effects that the introduction of large amounts of silver had on Viking Age society, Elizabeth Pierce's study that tracks the tenth- to twelfth-century Scandinavian presence in eastern Scotland whose evidence suggests substantial trading activity, Søren Sindbæk's demonstration of how radiocarbon calibration curves, when applied to the fine-meshed stratigraphy of Ribe, suggest a new chronological framework for the beginning of the Viking Age, and Christian Cooijman's exploration of the idea of viking camps as not just military barracks, but sites where all aspects of everyday life went on, and which formed the basis of the whole viking phenomenon.
