Vikings were living in most settlements and villages off the cost. These Vikings also explored and traded with other tribes and people.
Daily Life
Jobs such as collecting wood for the fire, weaving cloth and baking bread took up a lot of time. Vikings did not have much furniture - perhaps a wooden table and benches for sitting on and sleeping on.
There were no bathrooms in Viking homes. Most people probably washed in a wooden bucket, or at the nearest stream. Instead of toilets, people used pits - holes outside dug for toilet waste. A fence usually curtained the pit.
