Title A name given to the resource Viking Trade City Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, Brisbane Courier, burial, Denmark, Germany, Hedeby, QLD, Queensland, ship, tourism, trade, trading, ships, Viking, vikings Description An account of the resource An article on page 8 of the Brisbane Courier newspaper on December 29, 1930. The article reports on the forthcoming excavations of the main Viking trading centre of the ninth to eleventh centuries, Hedeby. The site is now in northern Germany in South Slesvig, but belonged to Denmark during the Viking Age. The excavation was prompted by the discovery of two burials and a 60ft ship, as well as defensive banks. The article notes that there was much interest in the excavation, and this presumably extended to the newspaper readers in Brisbane. Today Hedeby is a major tourist attraction and includes a museum, a recreation of part of the town, and fully reconstructed defensive banks.

Title A name given to the resource A Viking's Sword Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, burial, England, Norseman, The Queenslander, raiding, ship, ships, swords, sword, QLD, Queensland, sacrifice, Sweden, Viking, warfare, war, battle, battles, weapon, weapons, weaponry Description An account of the resource A highly romanticised article on page 46 of the Brisbane newspaper The Queenslander on 17 May, 1934. The article reports on a male Viking warrior grave uncovered in Sweden. Among the various grave-goods found was a sword made in England. This leads the author to create a highly speculative account of a Viking raid on England and the sword being ‘taken from the dead hand of one who fell defending his home’. Other goods found accompanying this member of the ‘sea wolves’ included a horse, dog, a possible slave, gaming pieces and a possible slave. The article also mentions the ‘savage gods’ that the man was likely to worship and his preference to die abroad in battle. The article is a good example of the romantic speculation that the Vikings seem to encourage. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

Title A name given to the resource A Viking Drinking Cup Subject The topic of the resource burial, rites, rite, Clarence and Richmond Examiner, cup, Grafton, Harald Fairhair, New South Wales, Norway, NSW, Shetland Islands, Scotland, Unst, Viking, whale, whales, vikings Description An account of the resource An article on page 7 of the Grafton, New South Wales newspaper, The Clarence and Richmond Examiner on December 19, 1903. The article reports the discovery of a Viking burial on the island of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Along with human, dog, and bones was found a whale vertebra which had been turned into a cup. A drawing of the cup is included. The article confidently dates the burial to the ninth century and the time of the Norwegian king Harald Finehair. As this burial is not included in the most recent catalogue of Viking burials in Scotland (James Graham-Campbell & Colleen Batey, Vikings in Scotland: An Archaeological Survey, Edinburgh University Press 1998), the reported details were probably incorrect.

Dawdson, Leif Eiriksson, Leif Ericson, Gokstad, grave goods, Morning Bulletin, Norsemen, Norway, QLD, Queensland, recreation, replica, Rockhampton, ship, ships, boat, ship, vessel, Viking, vikings Description An account of the resource An article on page 3 of the Rockhampton, Queensland newspaper, Morning Bulletin on January 31, 1894. The article by J.O. Dawdson acts as a popular history of Norway during the Viking Age. It provides the meaning of the term ‘Viking’ (inlet-men) and how they were pirates, although it notes that at the time piracy was also common in other regions. The article also, somewhat speculatively, describes the training of young Norsemen in sailing and the use of weapons. Much attention is given to the ship burial of the Gokstad ship which had been excavated in 1880, with the ship, skeleton, and grave goods all described in some detail. The article also mentions the claim that Leif Eiriksson/Ericson was the first European to reach America (specifically the east coast of Canada), and that a replica of the Gokstad ship had been built (The Viking) and sailed to America in 1893, proving that the voyage was possible. The article concludes by noting that unlike the first Vikings to reach America, the replica ship was met by welcoming crowds, and that the new iron warships in the harbour with the Viking ship were ‘greater and more terrible than the viking ever dreamt of’. The discovery of Viking artefacts at L’Anse-aux-Meadows on Newfoundland, Canada in 1960 proved that Vikings had reached America. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.
