Susano Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Anyone have a map of a iron age/"viking" village laid out with the long houses forming a cross? If it has a scale showing size, that'd be great. The village should also have a berm of dirt around it and a palisade. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Re: Need a Map That might work. I was thinking of one of the real ones I've seen... from Denmark. I thought I'd seen one with just four long houses, making a + sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Re: Need a Map I found some info that the Fyrkat fort, pictured in Doc's link, is about the same size as the Trelleborg fort -- about 120 meters in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Re: Need a Map There are quite a few good links when you search on Viking Hill forts and fyrkat but not so much in the way of better graphics... Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Re: Need a Map No dice with vikingaborgar, either, apart from some small pics on the palisades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Re: Need a Map It would possibly be easier if I spoke Danish. I'm sure some of those sites would have been hugely interesting if I could only read the text! Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Re: Need a Map Thanks guys, I'll make do. I'll also check my personal library from my SCA days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Re: Need a Map Not quite what you are looking for but this might go some way to getting there.... Doc Actually that might serve my needs (and campaign) well too. Certainly a basis to start mapping from. Time to open up the GIMP and see what I can get done.

Markdoc Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Re: Need a Map What you probably want is Trelleborg. Here's a map: http://www.planetware.com/map/trelleborg-viking-camp-c-1-000-b-c-map-dk-trel.htm And here's a series of reconstructions. http://www.virtuhall.com/images/virtuel/martel/trelleborg-1.htm cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
