Description

Explore the complex economic networks of the ninth and tenth centuries with Viking-Age Trade: Silver, Slaves and Gotland. This scholarly work from the Routledge Archaeologies of the Viking World series examines the massive influx of silver dirhams from the Muslim world into eastern and northern Europe. While the concentration of silver hoards on the Baltic island of Gotland is well-documented, recent findings have expanded this understanding to include the British Isles. This book investigates the primary drivers behind these massive silver movements. It examines the role of the fur trade and the significant impact of the slave trade as complementary explanations for these historical transactions. Rather than providing a simple list of hoard finds, this volume offers deep insights into the economic forces that shaped the Viking Age. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of global trade, Viking archaeology, and the movement of wealth across early medieval Europe.
