Scandinavian archaeology

Scandinavian archaeology studies the ancient past of countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark through excavations and research, uncovering artifacts, structures, and remains from prehistoric and historical times. It explores periods such as the Iron Age, Viking Age, and Medieval era, providing insights into early communities, their customs, and trade networks. The field combines careful excavation with scientific analysis to understand societal development, cultural exchange, and environmental changes. Scandinavian archaeology enriches our knowledge of how these societies evolved, their connection to broader European history, and how they shaped the region’s cultural heritage.
