Viking Settlements On Shetland
Islands Revealed By Excavations

Those tall, fair-haired Vikings,
who long ago braved the Atlantic
in their wooden ships, went ashore
on many islands. Evidence of
their arrival in the Shetland Is
lands, north of Scotland, now has
been established.
Word has just been received
here from ]. R. c. Hamilton of
remarkable archaeological finds at
Jarlshof.

of at least 1000 years. The earli-

est levels, resting on natural sand
at the base of the mound, date to
a time when these islanders were
leading a Stone Age existence; the
latest, to the period of Viking oc-
cupation beginning in the 9th and
10th Centuries.
The excavation of the Viking
settlement, begun in 1884 by DR..
A. o. Curle, was discontinued dur
ing the Second World War. During
this period nine houses with as
ISOLATED enclosure walls, passages
and p,'ved yards were uncovered
The dwellings, consisted of rec
tangular buildings of Morse type
(5O-to-sO feet long,, the majority
being built down the landward
slope of the mound with their
west gables facing the sea. Smoke
from the central fires escaped
through hole in the roof. There
were also apertures to admit light.
In 1949-195O the earlier levels
revealed that flourishing Viking
community, probably from the
More and Agder Districts of Nor
way was established as early as
SOO-85O. Finds from the hearths
and kitchen middens include frag-
ments of beautifully ornamented
bone combs, animal pins, iron
nails, fishhooks, sickles and nu-
merous fragments of steatite or
soapstone bowls.
