National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology

A series of talks exploring the excavations at Wood Quay and the Viking World which led to the creation of the site

The Danish Viking Ring fortress of Trelleborg has just been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. It was built around 980 during the reign of King Harald Bluetooth to secure his rule and as a defence against the German-Roman Emperor. Today, the focus on experimental archaeology in Trelleborg’s work, with research and dissemination programmes, have added significantly to our understanding of Viking Age Denmark and the time of King Harald.This talk will be presented by Dr. Anne-Christine Larsen, Museum Director of Trelleborg - Museum of the Viking Age.This event will take place in the Ceramics Room, first floor, of the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology and is not wheelchair accessible.
