In this day and age, the importance of calendar is simply to mark the vital events. But looking back, a calendar means more than just a paper to remember the day. It consists of a traditional culture, ancient lifestyle, and even the mindset of the people. And in the Viking age, the calendar was divided into two seasons: Summer and Winter. And summer was the starting time for the new year.

Marble Stone dated to Iron Age in Dønna Nordland Norway
A 3,000-year-old flint knife complete with its wooden handle has been uncovered in southern Zealand, Denmark. The knife dates to the Bronze Age, but when the supply of metal could not keep up with demand, artisans crafted tools from old materials with new designs.
Stone Elk Head, carved, found in Alunda, Uppland, Sweden; 21 cm long.  It takes the form of an axe with shaft hole, but the hole is not completely bored through, thus it could not have functioned as a tool. Likely used for ceremonies in a late Stone Age society.   Other stone head elks found in Finland and Russia and depicted on rock carvings at Nämforsen in Ångermanland. Most of animal heads are hornless and so either female or males in the midwinter when they have shed their antlers

The Viking Ship
Unfortunately, several months after i posted this, it came out that it was a satirical news article. Viking ship discovered in the Mississippi River; which means the Vikings traveled further inland in America than previously thought, and the stories of Vinland might be more than mythology!

Developed to weather the fiercest of North Atlantic and North Sea storms, Viking ships were incredibly seaworthy. Roll they may (as any boat can) but they could be righted again and their backs would not be broken. Lofoten, Catamaran, Viking Museum
