George is a PhD student of Maritime Archaeology, in this podcast fellow early career researchers from around the world talk about their research and share their stories.

In this episode, Leo talks about viking children and the toys they played with. Is a small wooden boat model a religious object or a toy? Was there a difference between the toys of boys and girls in the Viking age? How much of it is visible in the archaeological record? Finally, how do we define a child in the Viking age?
