mainly Vikings made their buildings with wood and stone, easily transportable items and they gathered in the regions that were occupied.
focusing first on the houses, built at ground level, with a unique structure and distribution. In these houses there is nothing, so it might have to rely on archaeological remains found in a time now. For example the footprints on the floor of the wooden posts that allow archaeologists distinguish the level and length I had a building and was distributed by the change of color and texture.
The basic shape of the building was the same in Scandinavia: rectangular, sometimes with curved walls and variable length. Saedding excavated buildings in Denmark, with nearly fifty feet long, in Borg, Lofoten, Norway, grew to be an even eighty-three meters long. The width, however, used to measure more than five meters and depended on the dimensions of the wooden beams that supported the roof. These were in turn supported by two rows of poles that ran the length of the building and divided longitudinally into three sections, consisted of a nave and two aisles rather more narrow.
In Denmark, provided deciduous oaks to build the frame houses and hazel and willow to weave wicker panels filling the spaces between uprights of the walls. These are then covered with a mixture of clay and dung to resist weathering.
One end of the dwelling houses was used as a granary for storing crops or septate in blocks for cattle. Living under the same roof as the animals were provided with a heat source for the inhabitants. Also made sure that their animals were safe for cattle rustlers, as livestock was considerable wealth.
habitable rooms of the house had a home in the middle of the floor for warmth, light and cooking facilities. There were chimneys and smoke came home from the skylight in the roof, which was covered with straw, sod or strips of wood, depending on availability of local materials and there were benches along walls. Generally they were a part of the structure and consisted of mounds of earth and reinforced flat wicker ahead.
The solid wooden doors of the houses were locked.
