The Viking town of Birka was one of the most important trading centres of the Vikings and was founded around 800 AD on the island of Björkö in the middle of Lake Mälaren in Sweden, where merchants from all over the Baltic region and further afield docked with their ships. During excavations, fragments of Viking-era bags and bag fittings were found, as well as many other artefacts that provide an insight into life and trade in the Viking Age.
