	Hedeby

		In the year 823 CI some monks came to Hedeby; they did not have much luck with their missionary work but in 826 CI a monk by name Ansgar came; he made some progress in disseminating the new religion, being helped by the fact that some of the foreign merchants already were christians.
		Because of its strategic position and its trade, Hedeby remained important to friend and foe; however, in 1050 the town was burned down by the Norwegian king Harold and it was finally destroyed in 1066 by an army of Slavs.

	Viking Men's Clothing
		The tenth-century caulking rags excavated from Hedeby harbor yielded some garment fragments believed to be the remnants of the crotch of a pair of baggy men's trousers, also known as "knickers," "plus fours," or Pumphose.
		The similarity between the Hedeby fragments and the crotch cut of the Thorsbjerg trousers is what allows for their identification as trousers (Hägg 1984, 31-2).
		At Hedeby several strips were found which had been woven to a 10cm width (i.e., not cut out of a wider fabric); they were woven in various twill techniques, with a purple herringbone twill as the finest example.

	Viking Tunic Construction
		The remains of one jacket from Hedeby had a trimming made of madder-dyed fake fur, which was a strip of woven wool with tufts of unspun wool inserted into the weave.
		Another interesting technique shows up in late tenth-century Hedeby: the seam is sewn with a running stitch on the inside of the garment, and the two raw edges are folded in and overcast together, giving the effect of a French seam.
		Hems came in a variety of styles, usually depending on the weight of the fabric; lightweight silk hems were usually rolled; linen, lightweight wool, and heavy silk ones were double-folded; and heavy wool ones were single-folded.

	SV: hist-games: Hnefatafl material at Hedeby
		He mentions the various kinds of materials used for game pieces in Hedeby, and tells that the board fragment is the earliest found in Scandinavia after the board fragment from Vimose on Funen (from c.400 A.D.).
		The photo on p.54 in his book shows what I saw at the Wikingermuseum Haithabu: the board fragment with 10 pieces, one of which is taller than the other pieces, probably the hnefi.
		The number of pieces matches modern reconstructions for the 11x11 board (and some reconstructions for the 13x13) but I'd like to find out if there is a clear distribution of pieces between one side and the other (or indeed if there is an obvious king piece present).
