| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at elucidating, on the basis of the analysis of rune stones, how the Scandinavians contributed to the development of political order and cultural transformation in a western part of the Eurasian continent in the 9th to the 11th centuries.To do so efficiently and internationally, I held several times of international workshops in Japan and stayed as a visiting scholar at the Oxford Centre for Global History for a year to cooperate with the researchers who are interested in the Global Middle Ages. As a result, it was revealed that the Scandinavians used ships and the maritime and riverine environment more advantageously than other contemporary social groups and were greatly involved in the formation of political order and cultural transformation in the western part of Eurasia.

本研究の成果により、通例ヴァイキングと呼ばれる９世紀から１１世紀にかけてのスカンディナヴィア人が、船舶を駆使することで海域や河川で優位に立つことにより、北大西洋世界からユーラシア西部に至る独自の交易ネットワークを形成し、各地の外交システムや国家形成などに直接的間接的に関与することで、北ヨーロッパ、ロシア、ビザンツ帝国、イスラーム世界などの歴史展開に大きな影響を与えていたことが明らかとなった。
