Viking Longhouses
In the next clip the presenter describes what a Viking longhouse was like. Longhouses were usually made of wood, or stone, earth and turf, which kept out the cold better. They had no chimney or windows, so smoke from the open fire drifted out through the roof. Beds and benches lined the walls, and other features included lamps for light, heather bedding, wall hangings and rugs for warmth. In the winter animals slept inside too.
