Böcker av Jacek Gruszczynski

This volume highlights the trade in slaves during the ninth and tenth centuries as driving exchanges on a trans-continental scale. A combination of general surveys and regional case-studies sets Gotland and the early medieval slave trade in a firmer framework than has been available before.

By investigating silver hoards and the context of their deposition, Viking Silver, Hoards and Containers seeks to understand the variety of functions performed by hoards; the differences in function within regions; the hoards¿ relationship with trade; and the nature and function of emporia.
