	What was it like to live in Anglo-Scandinavian Jorvik (York)?
		The Vikings seem to have been able to mix quickly with local populations, if their record in other places such as the Isle of Man and Ireland is anything to go by, where they soon became part of mixed Manx-Norse and Hiberno-Norse populations.
		There is no reason to think that things were much different in The Danelaw and, by the time of the Norman Conquest, the term 'Anglo-Scandinavian' may have been the most suitable for the population of Jorvik and its region.
		The sights, sounds - and even the smells - of Viking Age Jorvik (York) have been recreated realistically in the exhibition at the Jorvik Viking Centre in Coppergate, York, and a visit there gives a 'time travel' experience which no amount of words and pictures can convey.
