Strata: Portraits of Humanity, November 2023 (Søren Sindbaek interview) Description: In our continuing series of interviews with archaeologist newsmakers, Rick Pettigrew interviews Søren Sindbaek, a principal investigator of the Northern Emporium Project.

This work is yielding a detailed view on the timing and socioeconomic processes during the first phase of long-distance Viking trading voyages and helps address the question: What brought about the Viking Age?
