"Marika Mägi's book considers the cultural, mercantile and political interaction
of the Viking Age (9th-11th century), focusing on the eastern coasts of the Baltic
Sea. The majority of research on Viking activity in the East has so far concentrated
on the modern-day lands of Russia, while the archaeology and Viking Age history of
today's small nation states along the eastern coasts of the Baltic Sea is little known
to a global audience. This study looks at the area from a trans-regional perspective,
combining archaeological evidence with written sources, and offering reflections on
the many different factors of climate, topography, logistics, technology, politics
and trade that shaped travel in this period. The work offers a nuanced vision of Eastern
Viking expansion, in which the Eastern Baltic frequently acted as buffer zone between
eastern and western powers"
