Were there Vikings in Finland? Fibula, Fabula, Fact - The Viking Age in
Finland is intended to provide essential foundations for approaching the
Viking Age in Finland. The volume consists of a general introduction
followed by nineteen chapters and a closing discussion. The nineteen
chapters are oriented to provide introductions to the sources, methods
and perspectives of diverse disciplines. Discussions are presented from
fields including archaeology, folklore studies, genetics, geopolitics,
historiography, language history, linguistics, palaeobotany, semiotics
and toponymy. Each chapter is intended to help open the resources and
the history of discourse of the particular discipline in a way that will
be accessible to specialists from other fields, specialists from outside
Finland, and also to non-specialist readers and students who may be more
generally interested in the topic.
