Hverdagslivet i vikingetidens Vorbasse

Vorbasse, a Viking Age village in Denmark, stands out for its exceptional preservation and the wealth of wooden artifacts recovered from six wells. These objects, dated through dendrochronology, reveal insights into daily life during this period, including unique items like troughs, baking peels, and hayforks with no known parallels in other Danish Viking Age sites. The study highlights the significance of Vorbasse as a noble town (adelby) with extended settlement continuity, offering a rare glimpse into the material culture of early urban sites from the Viking Age and Early Middle Ages.
