River Kings by Cat Jarman: A new history of Norsemen all the way to the Silk Road

Follow bioarchaeologist Cat Jarman - and the cutting-edge forensic techniques central to her research - as she uncovers epic stories of the Viking age and follows a small ‘Carnelian’ bead found in a Viking grave in Derbyshire to its origins thousands of miles to the east in Gujarat.

Told as a riveting story of the Vikings and the methods we use to understand them, this is a major reassessment of these voyagers of the north.
