Tinganes is the historic location of the Faroese landsstýri (government) and is a part of Tórshavn. The name means "parliament jetty" or "parliament point" in Faroese.
The parliament met here for the first time in the Viking ages when Norwegian colonists placed their Ting (parliament) here in 825. It is one of the oldest parliamentary meeting places in the world.

It is well worth a visit because its calm setting in the middle of what is today forest. The inscription is written in the Old Norse metric fornyrdeslag. Some parts of the transliteration and interpretation has been discussed by academics.

In September this year the five Viking-Age Ring Fortresses were admitted on the Unesco World Heritage list.
This small series is from a Viking Crafts Market at Aggersborg the last weekend in August.
These five archaeological sites comprise a system of monumental ring-shaped Viking-Age fortresses sharing a uniform geometric design. Constructed between about 970 and 980 CE, the fortresses at Aggersborg, Fyrkat, Nonnebakken, Trelleborg and Borgring were positioned strategically near important land and sea routes, and each made use of the natural topography of their surrounding landscape for defensive purposes. They are an emblematic demonstration of the centralized power of the Jelling Dynasty, and a testimony to the socio-political transformations that the Danish realm underwent in the late 10th century.
On the photo are book ‘The Viking Way: Religion and War in Late Iron Age Scandinavia’ by Neil Price and staff of sorcery made by Robert Pustelak (www.pustelak.pl ). This reconstruction is based on finds from Sweden (i.e. Birka (grave 834), Gävle and Klinta).
More about seiðr-staffs you can find in the book ‘The Viking Way: Religion and War in Late Iron Age Scandinavia’ by Neil Price, in the article ‘Spinning seiðr‘ by Eldar Heide (eldar-heide.net/Publikasjonar%20til%20heimesida/Spinning%...), and in many articles by Leszek Gardeła (e.g. ‘A Biography of the Seiðr-Staffs.

Vi har med beste takk mottat brev og pakke av 24. ds. Pakken inneholdt en forrustet spydspiss av jern med istykkerslått fal. Vi vil gjerne innlemme spydspissen i vår samling.
Hvis De vil oppgi oss navnet på den arbeider som har funnet spydspissen, sender vi gjerne en liten godtgjørelse til ham.
Med takk for innsendelse
Ærbødigst

P. S. Kan det gis noen nærmere oplysninger om hvor på fabriktomten gravingen foregikk?
Ennvidere om det ble sett askejord eller annet av interesse der spydspissen ble funnet.
Antagelig skriver den sig fra et gravanlegg fra vikingetiden.
