Casting Cultural Identity in Early Viking-Age Northumbria Yorkshire Archaeological Journal Pub Date : 2022-07-18 Dave Haldenby, Dawn M. Hadley, Julian D. Richards
Abstract This paper discusses several categories of dress accessory which we suggest are linked to the arrival of the so-called Viking Great Army in Northumbria in the late ninth century. In particular, we argue that double-sided strap-ends and buckles arrived from Dublin as sword-belt fittings, alongside five-lobed hollow and cast sword pommels, and that this was closely followed by the introduction
