    The Vikings were skilled traders and pioneers during the 8th to 11th centuries. Technological advances from various European cultures at the time, including the potter's wheel and vertical loom, transformed manufacturing in Viking settlements by changing the types and scale of products produced.

    The Vikings were pioneers of craft and international trade. Between the 8th and
    11th century (the Viking Age), Europe saw significant technological advances, not
    all of them Scandinavian – the Anglo-Saxons, Frisians and Franks were equal
    players. Technological innovations such as the potter’s wheel and the vertical loom
    transformed not only the types of products being manufactured in Viking
    settlements, but also the scale on which they were produced.
    The Vikings were also expert shipbuilders and navigators. Their ships, such as the
    speedy drakkar, were technically superior to those of their rivals. They were able
    to orient themselves on the sea without a compass by using solar stones that
    allowed them to know where the sun was on overcast days. Is there anything else you
    would like to know?
