The Hakon Hakonsson Lecture, 2016, delivered at the Valhalladrome, Viking Experience Theatre, Barrfields, Largs, Thursday, September 1, 2016. Research into the Vikings has now become multi- or inter- disciplinary and science and its various branches are making an important contribution. In the 2016 Hakon Hakonsson Lecture, Professor Stephen Harding explores the impact of the scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology, and includes some speculation - informed speculation - that the Vikings may have had considerable scientific skills themselves.
