Hayo Vierck took an early interest in the history and archaeology of his homeland while at secondary school, and also had early contact with Haithabu. After taking his school certificate examinations in 1962 in Plön, Vierck studied Pre- and Proto-history with the subsidiary subjects of Classical Archaeology and Folklore in Munich and obtained his doctorate in 1969 under Joachim Werner with a dissertation on North English and West Scandinavian Costume Accessories in the 5th and 6th Centuries. Finishing that, he undertook a second research project in Oxford, which culminated in his attainment of Bachelor of Letters (B. Litt.) in the Department of European Archaeology. He became Fellow of the External research unit 7 'Medieval research' of Münster University from 1969 until 1985, and Professor of 'Art and Craft in the Early Middle Ages' (Kunst und Handwerk im Frühmittelalter) at the Seminar for Protohistory and Early History. His special research strengths were his Work of Eligius [2] and the Imitatio Imperii. [3] [4]
He was married to Sigrid Vierck, who wrote a dissertation on the Ægis, Die Aigis: Zu Typologie und Ikonographie eines Mythischen Gegenstandes [5] and in 2008 was elected Abbess of the Lutheran conventual monastery of Walsrode Abbey.

Pingsdorf ware is a high fired earthenware, or proto-stoneware, that was produced between the late 9th and 13th century in different pottery centres on the Eastern margin of the Rhineland as well as the Lower Rhine region. Characteristic features of vessels in Pingsdorf ware are a yellow-coloured fine sand-tempered sherd and a red painting. It is archaeologically evident within various Medieval settlements of North Western Europe and thus represents an important chronological marker for the Medieval archaeology.

The Roman road from Trier to Cologne is part of the Via Agrippa, a Roman era long distance road network, that began at Lyon. The section from Augusta Treverorum (Trier) to the CCAA (Cologne), the capital of the Roman province of Germania Inferior, had a length of 66 Roman leagues. It is described in the Itinerarium Antonini, the itinerarium by Emperor Caracalla (198–217), which was revised in the 3rd century, and portrayed in the Tabula Peutingeriana or Peutinger Table, the Roman map of the world discovered in the 16th century, which shows the Roman road network of the 4th century.
The Torslunda plates are four cast bronze dies found in the Torslunda parish on the Swedish island Öland. They display figures in relief, representing what are presumed to be traditional scenes from Germanic mythology. The plates are moulds designed for production rather than display; by placing thin sheets of foil against the scenes and hammering or otherwise applying pressure from the back, identical images could be quickly mass-produced. The resulting pressblech foils would be used to decorate rich helmets of the sort found at Vendel, Valsgärde, and Sutton Hoo. Two of the plates may have been made as casts of existing pressblech foils.
