Produktinformationen zu „Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic (ePub)“
Norse Greenland was the stepping stone for the Europeans who first discovered America and founded the Vinland settlement in Newfoundland. This volume is a comprehensive presentation of the community of 2000-3000 Viking peasants who lived on Arctic Greenland for over 400 years (ca. 985 - 1415). Norse agriculture in an Arctic environment met ecological challenges which they overcame with skills which demand respect. They adopted the west European church organisation with 12 parish churches, two monasteries and a bishop. Their main export was walrus ivory from which French and German artists made church art which still can be seen in the Louvre and other museums.
