Sweden and the archaeologist in charge Fröjel Excavation. - Jomsborg Online Forum - Online forum for viking-age reenactors.Its members include several reenactment groups from all over the world. Good stuff!
- Regia Anglorum - Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and British Living History. From their homepage: "Regia Anglorum attempts to recreate a cross section of English life around the turn of the first millennium. Our actual self imposed brief is AD950 - 1066, although our events may sometimes be set a few decades either side of these dates. Our basic tenet is Authenticity. To this end we will not portray any image, support any ideal, or make any item of kit which we cannot provenance from contemporary sources. This sometimes requires us to re-evaluate how we look and why we make or wear certain items, and to alter them or our habits to hone the image we depict." This page has a full listing of all the various Regia pages/articles on a wide range of subjects.
- Viking Answer Lady - Created by Gunnvör Sílfrhárr (Christie Ward), this is one awesome site with tons of accurate info and lots of pictures of artifacts. She discusses a wide range of subjects from daily life, to technology, agriculture, war, art, myth, settlements, AND she has a very good bibliography. Gunnvor is also very active on the Yahoo! Groups Norsefolk email list.
- Viking Heritage Website - A group of Viking researchers, from different areas and fields, have taken the initiative to create a network covering the whole of the geographical area of the Vikings - from the Scandinavian countries to France, from Russia to Canada. Their main goals are to encourage the preservation and enhanced understanding of the Viking period cultural heritage as a source of social, economic and cultural development. You can also subscribe to their quarterly Viking Heritage Magazine, and download previous copies as PDFs from their website.
