The Viking Age, Period VIII of the Scandinavian Iron Age, is here divided into four phases (VIII:1-4) for Gotland, and the phases dated c. 800-900, 910-990, 1005-1090, 1110-1200. The material culture of Viking-Age character thus overruns the border between the historical Viking Age and the Middle Ages. The Period-VIII artefacts are systematized into types and subtypes, which are described as to morphology, and assigned to their respective phases VIII:1-4. The morphology of graves, cemeteries and settlements, including trading places and harbours, is detailed. Certain phenomena such as Thing- and cult-places are discussed separately, as is Visby. Dress and weaponry are described from the evidence in inhumations and picture stones. Contacts between Gotland and its surroundings are commented upon under the heading Politics, Trade and Religion, as well as in a chapter on Gotlanders abroad and foreigners on Gotland. Relative chronology is demonstrated in relation to the cemetery at Ire in Hellvi and to the churchyard finds, and means of absolute dating are discussed. A final chapter provides a synthesis of the author's view of Gotland during the period in question.

THIS VOLUME IS the result of the international conference "Medieval Scandinavia and Papal Administration", held at The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities in 2016. The aim of the conference was to highlight and exemplify the lively contacts between the Nordic countries and the papacy luring the Middle Ages. The conference comprised a number of presentations relating to medieval Vatican sources, and six of the papers presented are published here. The book serves another purpose as well. During the first half of the last century, teams of scholars were sent out to find sources in the Vatican Apostolic Archives relevant to Scandinavian history. These "Scandinavian expeditions" resulted in a wealth of photographs, transcriptions, notes and excerpts, now stored in the Nordic National Archives. Part of the material has been printed but many documents remain unpublished. In the present volume, five new articles give an overview of the archival situation and point to relevant publications. The volume can be used as a handbook for students and everyone interested in learning more about this important but underutilized source material.
