One of York’s most popular visitor attractions, the Jorvik Centre depicts life as it was 1,000 years ago under Viking reign. The centre recreates buildings found on its exact site as well as displaying thousands of artefacts including original timbers as well as animal and vegetable remains which were all preserved due to the sites waterlogged location next to the River Foss. As excavation continued it was deemed necessary to completely rebuild the attraction in 2000 in order to include discoveries made in the intervening years since Jorvik first opened.
