This 🔥hot Norse Summer🔥 has already gifted us some incredible finds! For more details, see the ALT text for each picture. The excitement around these finds goes to show just how relevant the Viking Age still us nowadays. We can't wait to see what else the summer will bring!

A picture of the first gullgubbe to have been found in the Vestland region in Norway. The tiny golden square is around 1cm and embossed on it are a stylised man and woman facing each other. For more info, see forskning.noA picture of an archaeologist at the Viking Woodstown excavation. The archaeologist is in a high-vis vest, and crouching by a sieve. On his palm are three metal objects that were found at the time the picture was taken. For more info on the excavation, see https://archaeologymag.com/2026/06/ireland-s-largest-viking-settlement/A picture of a vast, flat field in Søften, Denmark. Part of the field has been excavated and the findings show that it was a 100,000 square meter textile production area from the Viking Age. For more info, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/viking-textile-factory-denmark-aarhus-b3001882.htmlA picture of the latest runestone to be found in the Faroe Islands. This Runestone was found during the excavation of a building that was likely a chapel or small church in Sondum in Sandi. The runestone was embedded in the floor of the building and its inscription hasn't been studied yet. For more info, https://www.tjodsavnid.fo/greinir/runarsteinur-funnin-i-utgrevstri-a-sondum-a-sandi
