This collection of artifacts not only contributes to the understanding of Norse warfare, but it also describes Norse pagan rituals involving sacrifices of both living and non-living goods. Grontoft Grontoft was a village on the western side of the Jutland peninsula that declined before the impact of Rome reached Scandinavia. It shows that, in the 1st and 2nd century C.E., Scandinavia had a relatively egalitarian social structure based on the similarities in the size of the houses. This egalitarian nature would change radically with the introduction of trade and communication between the Scandinavians and Romans, which allowed some Scandinavians to become rich. Hodde Hodde was a village on the Jutland peninsula that was one of the earliest pre-Roman Germanic settlements in that area. The village was arguable created 1 B.C.E., but it reached its peak in the 4th century C.E. Unlike earlier Scandinavian societies, Hodde demonstrates that the impacts of Rome did reach into Scandinavia, although the Romans didn't control the area. Earlier Scandinavian settlements (such as Grontoft) have egalitarian housing arrangements; however, trade with the Romans allowed some people in Hodde to get rich, which resulted in class division within society. emporia Emporia were specialized port cities along the periphery of empires in North-West that served as trading centers. They were the main places that trade goods flowed through, and they consequently has a variety of merchandise and precious metals contained in them. Northern emporia were under the control of Scandinavians while southern emporia were under the control of the franks.These locations were also where tax collectors, known a portreeves, would acquire taxes on traded goods, which was a substantial source of revenue for the government. This material wealth made emporia key targets for Vikings, and the first recorded Viking attack was on an emporia in Southern England in 789. Throughout the rest of the Viking Age, emporia were key targets for Vikings. Not only did Vikings raid emporia, but they also sold their own goods through emporia. One example of an emporia is Dorestad. Dorestad Dorestad was a location in Northern Frankia along the banks of the Rhine river. Due to its centralized location and the ease with which it could trade with other regions, it was a noteworthy emporia that was also significant because it minted coins. Dorestad thrived between the 7th and 9th centuries, where it then declined due to a mix of Viking conquest and a decline in trade due to the decline of the Carolingian Empire
