English to Portuguese: Health, Grooming, and Medicine in the Viking Age General field: Science Detailed field: Anthropology
Source text - English Health, Grooming, and Medicine in the Viking Age
Personal appearance: People kept a neat appearance during the Viking age. One of the few naturalistic renderings of the human face from the Viking age is the antler carving shown to the left. The figure depicts a man wearing a helmet, with his hair neat and trim. On his face, he wears a beard and a long moustache.
In chapter 3 of Vatnsdæla saga, Jökull is described as a large man with fair, shoulder-length hair. People thought him handsome.
Literary evidence suggests that women wore their hair long. When Hallgerður met Gunnar in chapter 33 of Brennu-Njáls saga, she is said to have thick, fair hair that came down to her breasts. In addition, the medieval lawbook Grágás (K254) prohibited women from wearing their hair short, one of several masculine traits that was specifically forbidden by the laws.
We know little about the details of face and body features, but it is safe to say that Scandinavians in the Viking age had features that closely resembled modern Scandinavians today.
The average height of men in Norway in the Viking era, based on skeletal measurements, was 176cm (5ft 9in), with a range from 170-181cm (5ft 7in to 5ft 11in), which was taller than other Europeans during this time. The average height of women was 160cm (5ft 3in), with a range from 149-164cm (4ft 11in to 5ft 5in).

Translation - Portuguese Saúde, Cuidados pessoais, e Medicina na Era Viking
Aparência pessoal: As pessoas mantinham uma aparência arrumada na era viking. Uma das poucas versões naturalistas da face humana da era Viking é uma galhada de cervídeo entalhada como mostrada na imagem a esquerda. A figura representa um homem usando um elmo, com o cabelo arrumado e aparado. Na face dele, ele usa barba e um longo bigode.
No capitulo 3 da saga de Vatnsdæla, Jökull é descrito como um home grande com cabelo claro na altura dos ombros. As pessoas o consideravam bonito.
As evidencias literárias sugerem que as mulheres usavam cabelo longo. Quando Hallgeður encontrou Gunnar no capitulo 33 da saga de Brennu-Njáls, é dito que ela tinha cabelo espesso e claro e se estendia a altura dos seios. Além disso o Livro de Leis medieval Grágás (K254) proibia as mulheres de usarem cabelo curto, umas das muitas características masculinas que era especificamente proibida pelas leis.
Sabemos pouco sobre os detalhes do rosto e características corporais, mas é seguro dizer que os escandinavos na Era Viking tinham características com uma semelhança bem próxima aos escandinavos de hoje.
A altura média de um homem na Noruega na Era Viking, baseado em medições de esqueleto, era 1,76cm (5'9"), com uma gama de variação de 170-181cm (5'7" à 5'11"), que era mais alta que outros europeus durante aquela época. A altura média de uma mulher era de 160cm (5'3"), com uma gama de variação de 149-164cm(4'11" à 5'5").
