Nordic archaeology

Nordic archaeology is the study of ancient cultures in the Nordic countries—Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. It investigates artifacts, structures, and landscapes to understand the history and lifestyles of past societies, including the Vikings and prehistoric communities. Researchers analyze tools, burial sites, and remnants of settlements to uncover how these people lived, worked, and interacted with their environment. Nordic archaeology helps us appreciate the rich heritage of the region and its role in shaping European history. Through excavations and scholarly analysis, it reveals the connections between ancient traditions and modern Nordic culture.
