Archaeologists find huge Viking textile production site in Denmark - NPR

Archaeologists have uncovered a large Viking Age textile production site at Søften in Denmark that dates to more than 1,000 years ago. The size and organization of the site — indicative of large-scale weaving and specialized craft activity — highlight a level of sophistication in Viking society. Finds like the Nile Delta burials in Egypt complement this picture by showing how material culture and social structures are reflected not only in workshops and trade but also in changing funerary practices and the organization of communal spaces over time.
