Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This chapter considers the evidence for the first Scandinavian settlement on the Brough of Birsay. Its nature and timing are potentially of great significance in explaining more fully the 9th century transition between native and incoming populations. A discussion of the wider evidence for Norse settlement sets the excavation in context. This is followed by an archaeological description of the earliest Norse settlement remains and their interpretation. The remains are dated to the 8th and 9th centuries. There is possible evidence for native/Norse continuity on one of the sites. | ||
