Earthen Architecture in Nordic Countries
Throughout prehistory, earthen architecture has played a pivotal role in establishing a sustainable and easily maintainable built environment, showcasing humanity's capacity to design and construct intricate structures using eco-friendly and cost-effective materials. This special issue underscores the enduring significance of earthen architecture in our historical and contemporary understanding of sustainable building practices
Turf Building in Iceland – Past, Present, and Future
For a millennium, turf was the primary building material in Iceland. It was used for dwellings, outhouses, boundary walls, raised roads, and other man-made structures. Turf is known as an earthen building material in many countries, especially in northern latitudes, but the knowledge of how to build using it has mostly disappeared. As turf was used well into the twentieth century in Iceland, the skilled craft of locating, harvesting, and building…
Subsurface imaging a Viking-Age churchyard using GPR with TDR
An archeology of moments
The Christian conversion of Iceland in A.D. 1000 was accompanied by distinct changes in religious practice and ritual places. In the following century, household cemeteries were established at many farms. Examining the early Christian household cemetery at Seyla in northern Iceland, we explore how the establishment, usage, and closure of these cemeteries provide an opportunity to examine how the new religion was realized in Icelandic society. At …
Life on the Edge of the Arctic
Burials were examined from the late Viking Age early medieval Christian cemetery at the farm of Keldudalur in the Skagafjörður region, Northern Iceland. The cemetery likely served a single household for about 100-120 years, from the beginning of the 11th century AD to the turn of the 12th century. Cemetery inhabitants represent a population that lived through the transitional period when Christianity was established in Iceland. The changes are vi…
A Family Revisited
In 2002 a previously unknown 11th-century Christian cemetery came to light during construction work at the modern-day farm of Keldudalur in the Hegranes area, north Iceland. When the cemetery was subsequently fully excavated, the skeletal population totalled 62 individuals. The osteological analysis of the material showed that the cemetery population represented all age groups and both sexes; a very different picture from the sparse pagan burial …
