What do you mean? Archeological or literary finds or just facts?
In terms of archeological finds, several have been made, some in Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Ireland and other places. In terms of ships there are the Skuldelev ships, the Gokstad and the Oseberg ships. There are also runic inscriptions such as the Jelling stones and the Valleberga stone. There are also gravesites, one example being Lindholm Høje.
In terms of literary accounts there have been some made (eg Alcuin). Not all of
these may be entirely trustworthy though since most of them were made by monks and other Christians who were subject to the Viking raids at the time. The Vikings themselves have left few written accounts.
In terms of facts here are a few
-The Viking age is traditionally thought to have started in 793 where the first
known raid took place and ended in 1066
-To this date no horned helmet has been found
-The Icelandic sagas were written down after the end of the Viking age
-Today Icelandic is the closest related language to old Norse
-Viking ships were built using lapstrake technique (where the top of one strake overlaps the other)
-The story of Amled served as inspiration for Hamlet
-Bluetooth is named after Harald Blåtand
-The Normans who invaded England in 1066 were descended from Vikings
-There are a couple of Runes engraved in the Hagia Sofia
I hope this is good enough and/ or what you were looking for, if not there is always these authors/historians: John Haywood, Else Roesdahl, R.I. Page and Martin Arnold to name a few
