Abstract
The Nordic countries are geographically and climatically diverse but linguistically and culturally closely linked by prolonged mutual contact: the countries termed as Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Denmark) are more integrated, whereas Finland was always closer to Russia and eastern Baltic states. From the second half of the 800s, people from the Nordic countries came to be referred to as ‘Vikings’. They conquered the eastern part of England and many parts of Scotland and Ireland, colonized Iceland and Greenland and Iceland, discovered Newfoundland (Vinland) and settled as rulers in Novgorod, and even traded with the Byzantine Empire. The period from 500 to 1000 CE is referred to as the Scandinavian Younger Iron Age, based on farming and fishing, but from the seventh and eighth centuries societies changed from older pagan, clan-based family groups into increasingly centralized kingdoms, with greater social and economic inequalities. Christianity was also gradually introduced by German missionaries. The emergence of Christian kingdoms in the Nordic countries transformed the older existing nobility into a national aristocracy, and the extended family structure disappeared in favour of the nuclear family, which profoundly affected the architectural development. From the early 700s proto-urban communities, such as Hedeby, Birka and Kaupang, emerged, especially along the Atlantic and Baltic coastlines, and were specialized in trade and exchange. All knowledge about architectural development from this period is exclusively based on archaeological evidence. From the eighth century the Nordic countries gradually went from being tribal territories to Christian kingdoms. The growth in social and economic inequality and increasingly centralized power influenced the building tradition profoundly. Villages consisted of small farms regularly organized in a row on each side of a public road. Each farm consisted of a centrally located ‘longhouse’ on a gated plot, surrounded by smaller buildings. The pre-Christian local elite spent substantial resources to display their social position through costly manor houses. The ‘hall’ was a large longhouse made to impress and to display the owner’s social power. Viking-era Denmark saw the development of a unique type of fortification: ‘ring fortresses’, presumably built by King Harold Bluetooth in the 980s. During the first half of the 700s four proto-urban communities emerged, some protected by earth ramparts, others not. The town areas were divided into plots marked out by ditches or fences, upon which small dwelling houses and workshops were erected.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
