Viking Age in Denmark

The order was given by English King Aethelred  the Unready (968 - 23Apr.1016) and took part in Oxford. The King order was to kill all Danes in neighbourhood by knights of Britain and so far archaeologists have found around 34-38 Viking skeletons in Oxford, as writes The Oxford Times.

Археологи из Музея Роскилле только что завершили сенсационные раскопки большой фермы Эпохи викингов рядом с Хюрдехой к югу от Роскилле. Ферма площадью более 12 тысяч квадратных метров состояла из нескольких зданий, в общей сложности - не менее тринадцати.

The Ringkøbing-Skjorn Museum has recently finished up the excavations in the centre of Spjald city. The excavations resulted in finding the Vikings’ houses and twelve graves dated to the Iron Age.

Archaeologists of the Museum of Bornholm (Denmark) was able to collect brooches of Viking Age. It took ... 26 years! Fibula hit the ground no more than a thousand years ago, and after the split into several parts.

In what they describe as a ‘sensational’ discovery, archaeologists from Århus find the remains of 10th century king’s royal residence. After speculating for centuries about its location, the royal residence of Harald Bluetooth has finally been discovered close to the ancient Jelling complex with its famous runic stones in southern Jutland.

The hall, 48 metres long and seven metres across, overlooks the site of a Viking palace unearthed in 1986 in what is an historic area of Denmark. ‘We are sure we have found a royal building of some sort,’ said Tom Christensen, curator of Roskilde Museum at the time. ‘The odd thing about the site is that it is littered with bits and pieces of exquisite golden jewellery, glass and bronze broaches, high quality artifacts, such as drinking glasses and ceramics, which all seem to have been deliberately smashed in some ritual.’

The "enamel trouser button" as Moesgaard archaeologists found at Bispetorvet is a rare korsemaljefibel Viking.

An exceptional archaeological find was made during the excavations made by the Roskilde Museum in Lejre. A figure of Odin sitting on its throne (Lidskjalv) was found for the first time.

An invaluable part of the history of Denmark, who simultaneously is a piece of world heritage, it really badly. It was established in autumn, when the National Museum published the results of 1,5 years of extensive studies of Jelling stones. In the combined film and exhibition bet "Jelling stones under the microscope" to get with the experts behind the rune stones "facade" and see and hear what the investigations revealed. And here you get too runestones the history from when they were merely stones over their shaping to magnificent runic and until today, where their condition is critical.
