Viking settlements
Scandinavian outposts abroad
Viking settlements were communities established by Norse seafarers from Scandinavia during the 8th to 11th centuries, primarily in coastal regions of Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and briefly North America.
These ranged from small farming communities to major trading centers like Dublin and York.
The term appears in historical and archaeological contexts: Archaeologists discovered remains of a Viking settlement in Newfoundland.
