Zusammenfassung:
The Vikings continue to fascinate us because their compelling stories connect with universal human desires for exploration and adventure. In 'Age of Wolf and Wind', Davide Zori argues that recent advances in excavation and archaeological science, coupled with a re-evaluation of oral traditions and written sources, inspire the telling of new and engaging stories that further our understanding of the Viking Age. Drawing upon his fieldwork experience across the Viking world, he proposes that the best method for weaving together these narratives is a balanced, interdisciplinary approach that integrates history, archaeology, and new scientific techniques.
