Closest modern populations
['Swedish', 'Norwegian', 'Danish', 'Icelandic', 'Orcadian', 'Dutch', 'Scottish', 'Shetlandic', 'German_Hamburg', 'Irish']

The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about
ad 750–1050) was a far-fung transformation in world history1,2
. Here we sequenced
the genomes of 442 humans from archaeological sites across Europe and Greenland
(to a median depth of about 1×) to understand the global infuence of this expansion.
We fnd the Viking period involved gene fow into Scandinavia from the south and east.
We observe genetic structure within Scandinavia, with diversity hotspots in the south
and restricted gene fow within Scandinavia. We fnd evidence for a major infux of
Danish ancestry into England; a Swedish infux into the Baltic; and Norwegian infux
into Ireland, Iceland and Greenland. Additionally, we see substantial ancestry from
elsewhere in Europe entering Scandinavia during the Viking Age.

Archaeological finds such as jewelry
and coins, mainly manufactured from silver, but also from gold, show traces of trade and exchange
contacts with countries to the east, south, and west. Perhaps visiting merchants who never returned
home may have been buried on the island, and Gotlandic merchants may never have returned home
from their travels.

No archaeological trace of settlements has been found in the vicinity of Kopparsvik, and the
environment does not allow for farming. Kopparsvik has, therefore, been interpreted as a place of commerce.
