Jane Kershaw shows impressively how Viking women can be found in the archaelogical record. * Harold Mytum, British Archaeology * This volume is a wonderful asset to Viking Studies, it is well written and presented in a logical form and provides a clear route through the complexities of this range of metal jewellery finds. This book should now be required reading by all who work with material culture, be it Scandinavian, Anglo-Scandinavian or otherwise. * Colleen Batey, Networks and Neighbours * this is hugely informative and very well-written study of a complex body of material. * Victoria Whitworth, Early Medieval Europe * Readers of this smart and well-argued book may be surprised (and impressed) by how much information the author can tease from metal-detector finds. * Nancy Wicker, Cambridge Archaeological Journal * the field of Viking studies will be invigorated by this new study, containing material and interpretations which will be a benchmark for discussions for years to come. * Soren M. Sindbaek, Medieval Archaeology *
