Many hundreds of spindle whorls survive from the Scandinavian Middle Ages. In the Viking Age they were frequently buried with women, and throughout the period many were lost or discarded at settlement sites, only to be dug up centuries later. The surviving whorls are made of many different materials: amber, antler (elk), bone (cattle, pig), clay, coral, glass, metal (iron, lead, lead alloy), and wood (oak). Many types of local stone were also used, such as chalk, limestone, mudstone, sandstone, schist, siltstone, slate, and soapstone. In Norway and Iceland, where soapstone can be quarried, and in the areas such as Scotland, Greenland, and Newfoundland that were influenced by Norway and Iceland, more soapstone whorls survive than whorls of any other material. Often soapstone whorls were made from reused fragments of cooking vessels.

Extractions: FOLLOW THESE LINKS TO THE PAPERS STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN FOR THIS CLASS As a college freshman, one of my classes is called Viking Sagas , taught by Rhonda Knight. A class of 24 students, including myself, started this class at Binghamton University in NY in the spring of 1997 for different reasons. Some of us took it to fulfill requirements, others because it was expected to be an easy class and even others because the topic interested them. I believe I can speak for most of the class in saying that this class has proven to be not only interesting, but enlightening. And those of us who thought the class would be easy have found that there was certainly work involved. There have been several books the class has read, which you can find listed below. Also, a few of the Viking Sagas are available on the internet, and if myself or Rhonda finds this page, a link will be placed below for your reading pleasure. While outside research has not been the focus of this class, two six to eight page papers were completed by each of the students, as well as a final project, which were to be based upon our own knowledge, information we picked out of the discussions and lectures in class, but most especially on the books we read. The first paper was due after only one saga was read -
