Hurstwic: Eldhátíð / Fire Festival Announcement

In the Viking age, a go-to battle tactic was to burn down an opponent’s longhouse. Hurstwic will hold a festival of experimental archaeology to scientifically test this battle tactic. Several Viking-age house structures will be built, instrumented with measurement apparatus, and then burned in a public festival at Eiríksstaðir in Iceland on July 5-7, 2024. We hope you will join us in this adventure.
More information about the event is on our fire festival webpage:

Exciting! Will there be any recordings done for those of us who can’t get to Iceland?

Plans are not finalized, but we hope to live stream the experiments at the event.
