Viking Treasure

Viking treasure refers to valuable items accumulated or buried by Norse explorers, traders, and warriors during the Viking Age (roughly late 8th to early 11th centuries). It includes gold and silver jewelry, coins, weapons, and crafted artifacts, often hidden in graves or secret locations to protect wealth or cultural significance. These treasures offer insights into Viking trading networks, craftsmanship, and social status. Archaeologists discover and study such treasures to better understand Viking society, economy, and interactions with other cultures during this dynamic period.
