“Buried Treasure and King Bluetooth,” an interview with Anders Winroth

Buried Treasure and King Bluetooth

Guest: Anders Winroth, PhD, Birgit Baldwin Professor of History at Yale University, Author of “The Age of the Vikings”

At the start of the year, an amateur archaeologist and his 13-year-old student were metal detecting on an island in the Baltic Sea in northern Germany. They found what they thought was just some aluminum. But it turned out to be silver – a stash, in fact, of Viking treasure with historical significance tied to an ancient king.
