  • Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic
    Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic Lara M. Hogg This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of History, Archaeology and Religion. Cardiff University. 2015 SUMMARY It is a well-established fact that all human societies have coexisted with and are dependent upon animals and it is increasingly recognized that the study of human-animal relationships provides vital insights into past human societies. Still this is yet to be widely embraced in archaeology. This thesis has examined human-animal interdependencies to explore the social identities and structure of society in the Norse North Atlantic. Benefitting from recent research advances in animal studies and the ever increasing volume of archaeological reports from Norse period archaeological excavations the North Atlantic this thesis was able to develop previous scholarship and define directions for future research. The thesis explored the role of animals in human society in the North Atlantic to reveal the complex Norse societies that existed. It revealed through human interdependencies with animals that these societies were far from homogeneous and had their own distinct identities with the individual islands as well as across the North Atlantic. The thesis achieved this by examining several important discrete but interlinked themes. These themes were divided into four chapters that focused on the individual aspects. This included an examination of previous North Atlantic Viking Age scholarship, consideration of human construction and perception of landscape through archaeological excavations, investigation of the role of domestic animals in human social activities, and an exploration of the role of domesticated animals in beliefs.

  • The Picts and the Martyrs Or Did Vikings Kill the Native Population of Orkney and Shetland?*
    Brian Smith The Picts and the Martyrs or Did Vikings Kill the Native Population of Orkney and Shetland?* '''Good heavens!' I cried. 'Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads!'" - Conan Doyle, 'The adventure of the copper beeches'. Introduction Nearly a quarter of a century ago lain Crawford gave a paper to the eighth Viking Congress. His title was 'War or peace'.1 Crawford's essay, about Norse immigration in the Northern and Western Isles, and the immigrants' relationship with the native Picts, was a smashing piece of work. He was angry and scornful about what archaeologists were saying about the subject in the 19705. For Crawford the matter had been cleared up, for once and for all, in 1962, when Frederick Wainwright's posthumously published work The Northern Isles came out. In two brilliant essays in that book Wainwright argued that the Pictish inhabitants of Shetland and Orkney had been 'overwhelmed by and submerged beneath the sheer weight of the Scandinavian settlement'.2 The Picts, he concluded, 'were overwhelmed politically, linguistically, culturally and socially.'3 Crawford didn't succeed in persuading his audience, or, subsequently, his readers. Since the 1970s the 'Peace' School has become more and more voluble and successful. I regret this, because I go further than Crawford and Wainwright. I suspect that the Norse invaders of Orkney and Shetland didn't just 7 NORTHERN STUDIES' 36 'overwhelm', or 'submerge' the native population: I think they killed them. I begin my critique with Crawford himself. He divided his predecessors into two groups: a traditional War school, culminating in the work of Wainwright, and a relatively modern, effete Peace School.

  • Nauigatio Sancti Brendani 'The Voyage of Brendan'
    Nauigatio Sancti Brendani ‘The Voyage of Brendan’: Landscape and Paradise in Early Medieval Ireland Dr Elva Johnston (UCD School of History & Archives) I. Introduction to the Nauigatio Nauigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, the Voyage of St Brendan the Abbot, is one of the most famous of all early medieval Irish texts.1 It is a Hiberno-Latin narrative which was probably written in Ireland by the second half of the eighth century (Dumville 1998) or during the ninth (Esposito 1961; Carney 1963). It describes how St Brendan, a sixth- century early Irish abbot, is called to go on a journey to the Promised Land of the Saints which, the text tells us, can be found in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Ireland. He is accompanied by a crew of monks on a voyage lasting seven years. The travellers must pass various tests before reaching their goal. Brendan visits islands in the north Atlantic, encounters monks, celebrates Easter on the back of a giant sea creature and meets Judas Iscariot. After reaching the Promised Land of the Saints, Brendan and the remaining monks return home. The text draws on a rich literary heritage which may stretch back into the early seventh century (Carney 1963). It is widely believed in popular culture that it describes an actual voyage to the Americas, undertaken by early medieval Irish monks (Ashe 1962; Severin 1978). Most scholars, however, interpret it as a symbolic religious text which should not be read literally (Bourgeault 1983; O’Loughlin 1999; O’Loughlin 2005). This paper will highlight the different landscapes described in the Nauigatio, exploring how they provide the tale with interpretative depth.
