We have no remains of Men's clothes apart from shoes and socks.  Most of what we believe about their clothing is taken from the sagas and histories of the times.  However, Norse people used worn out clothing for many purposes. At least one entire garment (a pair of men's trousers) has survived from the Viking era because someone used it in the process of building a ship. There is little women's clothing remaining apart from jewellery.  Historians have had to make sensible guesses from written history
We have found a great deal of jewellery from the times.  Can you think why?  Here are some examples.

We have found a large number of Viking coins.  See what you can spot on the coins.
