I've got the first volume of Jesse Byock's 'Viking Language' on the shelf. One of these days, honest. I didn't know he had made MP3s available. I'll have to download those. https://www.amazon.ca/Viking-Language-Learn-Norse-Icelandic/dp/1480216445 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr0gSsI4t_4 That's a 15 minute video of archaeologists at work at the Mosfell Archaeological Project. It looks like a nice place to dig. I recall one archaeologist working in a heavily populated area, Java iirc, saying it was incredibly difficult since every place you wanted to dig was somebody's back yard. They're also lucky to find the mound intact. In the US many of the Mound Builder sites were destroyed by farmers leveling that inconvenient bump in the middle of their field. Byock is in touch with reality. Many point to Iceland as an example of a libertarian society; in one of his book's he characterizes it as a society of feuding farmers.
