Facing the Ocean: Raiding and Trading

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Professor Barry Cunliffe explores the lives of ancient peoples who lived on the Atlantic edge of Europe.

The Vikings have a reputation for savagery, but they were also farmers, traders and settlers. Professor Cunliffe travels to Orkney to trace the voyages of the Vikings, and looks at how others have taken to the ocean in search of wealth over the last 6,000 years.
