This book demonstrates how
communication networks over the Baltic
Sea and further east were established
and how they took different forms in the
northern and the southern halves of the
Eastern Baltic. Changes in archaeological
evidence along relevant trade routes
suggest that the inhabitants of present-day Finland and the Baltic States were
more engaged in Viking eastern
movement than is generally believed.
