The majority of literature about the Viking period, based on artefacts or written sources, covers battles, kings, chiefs and mercenaries, long distance travel and colonisation, trade, and settlement. Less is said about the life of those that stayed at home, or those that immigrated into Scandinavia, whether voluntarily or by force. This book uses results from the examination of a substantial corpus of Swedish osteological material to discuss aspects of demography and health in the Viking period – those which would have been visible and recognisable in the faces or physical appearances of the individuals concerned. It explores the effects of migration, from the spread of new diseases such as leprosy to patterns of movement and integration of immigrants into society. The skeletal material also allows the study of levels of violence, attitudes towards disablement, and the care provided by Viking communities. An overview of the worldwide phenomenon of modified teeth also gives insight into the practice of deliberate physical embellishment and body modification. The interdisciplinary approach to questions regarding ordinary life presented here will broaden the knowledge about society during the Viking Age. The synthesis of the Swedish unburnt human skeletal remains dated to the Viking age will be a valuable resource for future research, and provides an in-depth view on Viking age society.

För mer än tusen år sedan, under den tid vi kallar vikingatid, levde på ön Gotland en fjortonårig pojke som hette Torbjörn. Han bodde på en gård, inte långt från hamnen i Vi på öns västkust. På gården bodde också hans föräldrar Knut och Sigrid, två småsystrar, farmor Astrid och en farbror som hette Ulf. Ja, far var ju inte där nu, för när Torbjörn bara var nio vårar seglade fadern iväg med sitt skepp och hade inte setts till sedan dess. Torbjörn saknade sin far, saknade hans stora varma famn och alla berättelser om vikingafärder i österled. Så börjar den spännande berättelsen om Torbjörn och hans färd långt bort till det fjärran Bulgar för att söka efter fadern.

Over a thousand years ago, in the period we call the Viking Age, a fourteen year old boy lived on the island of Gotland. His name was Torbjörn. He lived on a farm not far from the harbour at Vi on the west coast of the island. His parents Knut and Sigrid, his two younger sisters, his grandmother Astrid and an uncle called Ulf also lived on the farm. But his father wasnt there now, because one spring when Torbjörn was only nine years old his father had sailed away on his ship and hadnt been seen since then. Torbjörn missed his father, longed to snuggle in his fathers arms, listening to all his stories about the Viking expeditions in the East. Thus begins the exciting story of Torbjörn and his journey far, far away to the distant city of Bolghar to search for his father.
