fundamentally alter how we see the Viking Age: 82 pit houses identified as specialised textile workshops have been uncovered.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--culture js-article-content\">\n<p>The Vikings were apparently not only a warlike people: In S\u00f8ften, a small village in the Mid Jutland region north of Aarhus, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an exceptionally large craft settlement. The complex dates from the 7th to 10th centuries and covers 100,000 square metres. In total, the archaeologists excavated 82 pit houses.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The area seems to have served as a specialised craft zone, with numerous workplaces operating in parallel.

These artefacts show that the inhabitants of S\u00f8ften were part of far-reaching trade networks that extended as far as Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The site was strategically well placed near the then trading centre of Aros. Its location made it easy to channel the goods produced into trade and export them.<\/p>\n<p>In the researchers&#8217; view, the finds prove that the Vikings had a highly developed economy. Historian Kasper H. Andersen from the Moesgaard Museum stressed: &#8216;It shows us that the Viking Age was not just an uncivilised, barbaric and backward era, as is often assumed.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It is not yet clear when the artefacts, probably including those to be displayed at the Moesgaard Museum, will be available for public viewing. The analysis of the finds is still ongoing and could take several months to several years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-c-mention-original-translation\" class=\"c-mention-original-translation

&#8216;A heartbreaking loss&#8217;: Celebrities pay tribute to James Van Der Beek<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">The Vikings were apparently not only a warlike people: In S\u00f8ften, a small village in the Mid Jutland region north of Aarhus, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an exceptionally large craft settlement. The complex dates from the 7th to 10th centuries and covers 100,000 square metres. In total, the archaeologists excavated 82 pit houses.The area seems to have served as a specialised craft zone, with numerous workplaces operating in parallel. The large number of identical workshops suggests that division of labour, and possibly centralised control, played a role.The excavations brought to light an enormous number of loom weights, spindle whorls and glass beads, indicating that textiles were produced there on a scale far exceeding the needs of the local population. The finds document a complete production chain, from processing the fibres to the finished fabric.The researchers also found Arabic coins from the Middle East, as well as mintings from what is now France and Germany. These artefacts show that the inhabitants of S\u00f8ften were part of far-reaching trade networks that extended as far as Asia.The site was strategically well placed near the then trading centre of Aros. Its location made it easy to channel the goods produced into trade and export them.In the researchers&#8217; view, the finds prove that the Vikings had a highly developed economy. Historian Kasper H. Andersen from the Moesgaard Museum stressed: &#8216;It shows us that the Viking Age was not just an uncivilised, barbaric and backward era, as is often assumed.&#8217;It is not yet clear when the artefacts, probably including those to be displayed at the Moesgaard Museum, will be available for public viewing. The analysis of the finds is still ongoing and could take several months to several years.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2026\/07\/05\/spectacular-find-1000-year-old-viking-textile-workshop-unearthed&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/82\/57\/43\/1200x675_cmsv2_fa93c903-fab8-5ed1-bbac-8a4f67a719cd-9825743.jpg&#8221;] USA Zelenskyy and Putin hold Fourth of July phone calls with Trump Travel News Boutique hotel with pools and Jacuzzis for every room opens in Paros USA &#8216;The American Dream is back,&#8217; Trump says during Fourth of July speech Europe News Serbs are not &#8216;little Russians&#8217;, says former PM Ana Brnabi\u0107 USA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2027695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2027695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2027695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2027695\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2027695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2027695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2027695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
