"In this book, Marianne Hem Eriksen explores the social organization of Viking Age
Scandinavia through a study of domestic architecture, and in particular, the doorway.
A highly charged architectural element, the door is not merely a practical, construction
solution. Doors control access, generate movement, and demark boundaries, yet also
serve as potent ritual objects. For this study, Eriksen analyzes and interprets the
archaeological data of house remains from Viking Age Norway, which is here synthesized
for the first time. Using social approaches to architecture, she demonstrates how
the domestic space of the Viking household, which could include masters and slaves,
wives and mistresses, children and cattle, was not neutral. Quotidian and ritual interactions
with, through, and orchestrated by doorways prove to be central to the production
of a social world in the Viking Age. Eriksen's book challenges the male-dominated
focus of research on the Vikings and expands research questions beyond topics of seaborne
warriors, trade, and craft"
