I Forge Iron

Viking metalwork and some history

I bumped into this article online and found myself studying the Viking shackles that had been found at dig sites.  While the article is mostly an examination of the Viking association with the slave trade, the blacksmithing that serves as the only tangible evidence is intriguing.  Plus, now Thomas can make some period “adornments” for his thralls at Pennsic!

Thanks for the link Lou. I found myself looking at the pictures pretty closely myself. I couldn't read the article for the near constant barrage of ads, blinking, flashing a couple times sending me to a full page advertisement. When I tried closing the ad it put about a 1/4 page water mark every couple paragraphs.

It kept asking if I wanted to watch NOW. That was a link to purchase history channel live streaming. 

And I was really interested in the article! <sigh>

Sorry gang, end rant.
