520 8  The majority of literature about the Viking period, based 
       on artefacts or written sources, covers battles, kings, 
       chiefs and mercenaries, long distance travel and 
       colonisation, trade, and settlement. Less is said about 
       the life of those that stayed at home, or those that 
       immigrated into Scandinavia, whether voluntarily or by 
       force.0This book uses results from the examination of a 
       substantial corpus of Swedish osteological material to 
       discuss aspects of demography and health in the Viking 
       period - those which would have been visible and 
       recognisable in the faces or physical appearances of the 
       individuals concerned. It explores the effects of 
       migration, from the spread of new diseases such as leprosy
       to patterns of movement and integration of immigrants into
       society. The skeletal material also allows the study of 
       levels of violence, attitudes towards disablement, and the
       care provided by Viking communities. An overview of the 
       worldwide phenomenon of modified teeth also gives insight 
       into the practice of deliberate physical embellishment and
       body modification.0The interdisciplinary approach to 
       questions regarding ordinary life presented here will 
       broaden the knowledge about society during the Viking Age.
       The synthesis of the Swedish unburnt human skeletal 
       remains dated to the Viking age will be a valuable 
       resource for future research, and provides an in-depth 
       view on Viking age society
