Viking settlement
Scandinavian settlers' home
A Viking settlement is a community established by Norse seafarers during the Viking Age (roughly 793–1066 CE), typically along coastlines or river systems from Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and parts of North America.
The term appears in historical and archaeological contexts: Archaeologists uncovered a Viking settlement in Newfoundland.
It can also describe modern reconstructions or heritage sites.
