Figure 1

Map of the North Atlantic region. The blackened area represents regions where Norse cultural and linguistic dominance was complete during the Viking period. The dark speckled areas in the British Isles provide an indication of the core areas of Viking exploits, on the basis of archaeological sites, place names of Norse origin, and raided monasteries and towns (Bjarnason et al. 1973; Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998; Corráin 1999; Keynes 1999). The arrows show some of the main sailing routes of the Vikings in the North Atlantic.
