Archaeologists in Denmark have unearthed a vast Viking Age textile production site, dating back over a millennium, which offers compelling evidence of the sophisticated nature of Viking society.
Experts from the Moesgaard Museum announced this week that the sprawling 100,000-square-metre site, located in Søften, 10 kilometres north of Aarhus on the Jutland peninsula, features a dedicated area for processing flax. It also includes more than 80 pit houses – semi-submerged huts that served as workshops and dwellings during the Viking era.
