Beschreibung:
Jane Kershaw is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford. She was formerly a British Academy post-doctoral research fellow at UCL. Her research focuses on Viking-Age material culture from Britain and Scandinavia. Her first book, Viking Identities: Scandinavian Jewellery in England was published by OUP in 2013. Gareth Williams has been a curator at the British Museum since 1996, with responsibility for British and European coinage, about AD 500 to about 1180. Within this area he specialises in Anglo-Saxon and Viking coinage. Much of his work focuses on the use of coinage as evidence within broader historical and archaeological studies.
Silver, Butter, Cloth discusses what constituted 'money' in the Viking Age, and how 'money' was used? It is widely accepted that silver constituted the main form of currency. Silver, Butter, Cloth examines how silver functioned as payment but also explores the monetary role of non-silver currencies in the Viking economy.
