Kaupang
:''For another Viking Age site, see Kaupanger.''
Kaupang was a Norse term for ''market-place''. Today, it is generally used as a name of the first town-like market-place in Norway, the ''Kaupang in Skiringssal'', which is located in Tjølling near Larvik in Vestfold. Kaupang was an important merchant and craft center during the Viking period and as yet the first known Norwegian trading outpost.〔(''Kaupangen i Skiringssal'' )〕〔(''Vikings' Home Reveals Extent of Their Wanderlust'' (National Geographic Society) )〕
==History==
Kaupang was founded in the 780s and abandoned for unknown reasons in the early 10th century. It was situated on a beach by Viksfjord in Larvik municipality. Documentary sources indicate that the area was an important royal seat in the 8th and 9th centuries.〔( ''Kaupang in Skiringssal'' (Kaupang Excavation Projekt Publication. 2007) )〕
There is a general perception that Kaupang is mentioned under the name of Skiringssal (Old Norse: ''Skíringssalr'') in Ohthere of Hålogaland's account of his travels. But the name of the port Ohthere visited at the end of the 9th century is only recorded as "Sciringes heal" in Old English, and there is no scientific evidence that "Sciringes heal" corresponded to Kaupang in Skiringssal.〔''Ohthere's Voyages: A late 9th Century Account of Voyages along the Coasts of Norway and Denmark and its Cultural Context'' (edited by Janet Bately and Anton Englert. Roskilde: 2007); (Masdalen, K.-O.: ''Uden Tvivl - med fuldkommen Ret. Hvor lå Sciringes heal?'' ) (2010). Aust-Agder Kulturhistorike Senter.
