History

Which limitation increased labor requirements for Viking-era pontoon bridge construction?

A)Lack of standardized timber lengths
B)Limited bronze alloy tensile strength
C)Inadequate knowledge of riverbed geology
D)Absence of sophisticated pulley systems

💡 Explanation

The absence of standardized timber lengths meant each timber had to be individually measured and shaped using axes—a type of brute-force measurement. Thus, significantly more hand labor was needed for construction, because timber dimensional consistency minimized fitting steps, rather than other material limited options.
