Excavations at Helgö. XV

Excavations at Helgö XV is a significant installment in the long-running academic series dedicated to the archaeological investigations at Helgö, an island in Lake Mälaren, Sweden. The site, which served as a major center for trade and craft production during the Iron Age, has been the subject of systematic excavation since 1954, and this specific volume focuses on the detailed analysis of excavated materials, contributing to the broader understanding of Northern European socio-economic networks.

Authored by Lena Thalin Bergman and published in 2005, this volume maintains the rigorous scholarly standards established by the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities. It reflects the meticulous documentation typical of the series, intended primarily for researchers and institutions focused on Scandinavian prehistory. Like its predecessors, it is valued for its descriptive accuracy and its role in preserving the primary data of a site that reshaped the historical view of the Viking Age's precursors.
