    The Vikings were skilled traders and craftspeople during the 8th to 11th centuries. Technological advances like the potter's wheel and vertical loom transformed manufacturing in Viking settlements by changing the types of products made and allowing for larger scale production. The Vikings were also excellent shipbuilders, creating vessels like the drakkar that were superior to rivals' ships, and skilled navigators who could orient themselves at sea without compasses using solar stones.

    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?
