@ScotArchMonth @samleggs22 @LeverhulmeTrust @HCAatEdinburgh @EdinArch @SUERC1 @UCTgeology @ogu_bristol @aocarchaeology The big question is was it really the Vikings who re-popularised eating fish again? And if so, why werenโt people living on islands and in coastal communities fishing much before the Vikings turned up?
