Everybody loves the Vikings, but what do we know about the Viking Age economies of Britain and Ireland? Dr Tom Horne discusses his new book, "A Viking Market Kingdom in Ireland and Britain: Trade Networks and the Importation of a Southern Scandinavian Silver Bullion Economy," which combines network-kingdoms and nodal market-networks theories to link the economies of the Vikings in Dublin and York.

We also talk to Tom about his favourite excavations, his funiest moment in the trenches, and where he'd most like to dig at next.

This is part 2 of 2, so make sure to go back to the previous episode to hear the rest of our conversation with Tom!
