The impact of Scandinavian raiders and settlers on urbanisation is a major research question for understanding later Anglo-Saxon England. From 2012 onwards we have undertaken investigations at Torksey (Lincolnshire), as part of the broader 'Tents to Towns' project. Our research into the winter camp of the Viking 'Great Army' of 872-3 revealed extensive evidence for trade and manufacture across a c.55ha island, accommodating thousands of people (https://doi.org/10.5284/1018222). From 2019-21 we focussed on fields to the south of the modern village, which formed part of the early medieval town, and these investigations form the basis of this digital archive.
