Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson: With sail over the Baltic Sea / Purjetades üle Läänemere

EN: On the potential connection between the introduction of sails and the Viking Phenomenon The iconic image of the Viking Age is arguably the sailing boat, as e.g. seen on the Gotlandic picture stones. Though the exact starting point for the use of sails in Scandinavia and the Baltic is not yet known, the first archaeological evidence is provided by one of the Salme boats. The Salme boat marks an important technological development that may have had a crucial impact on the evolving phenomenon in Northern Europe that we have come to know as the Viking Age. Sail production was an extensive and in research often underestimated process, requiring extensive amounts of raw material that then had to be processed, spun and woven. Sailing provided quicker and less arduous means of transportation, increasing the range of travel, but the making of sails was an advancement that required a new level of organisation and planning. The connection between sails and the Viking Phenomenon is significant, but the social development it reflects is equally important, constituting an even more significant indicator of the beginning of a new era. --- The conference was supported by Enterprise Estonia from the European Regional Development Fund. ET: Purjetades üle Läänemere. Võimalik seos purjede ja viikingite fenomeni vahel Viikingiaja ikooniline kujutis on vaieldamatult purjelaev, mida võib näiteks näha Gotlandi pildikividel. Kuigi täpne purjede kasutusele võtmise aeg Skandinaavias ja Baltikumis ei ole seni teada, on esimesi arheoloogilisi tõendeid näha ühel Salme paadil. Salme paat märgib olulist tehnoloogilist arengut, millel võis olla kriitiline mõju Põhja-Euroopas arenevale nähtusele, mida praegu tunneme viikingiajana. Purjede tootmine oli laialdane ja uurimustes sageli alahinnatud protsess, mis nõudis väga palju toormaterjali, mida tuli seejärel töödelda, kedrata ja kududa. Purjetamine võimaldas kiiremat ja vähem vaevalist transporti, suurendades reisimise ulatust, kuid purjede valmistamine oli saavutus, mis vajas uuel tasemel organiseerimist ja planeerimist. Seos purjede ja viikingite fenomeni vahel on märkimisväärne, kuid sotsiaalne areng, mida see peegeldab, on samaväärselt oluline, andes veelgi selgemalt märku uue ajastu algusest. --- Konverentsi rahastas EAS toetusmeetmest Euroopa Regionaalarengu Fond.
