A Bayesian approach to linking archaeological, paleoenvironmental and documentary datasets relating to the settlement of Iceland (Landnám)
Icelandic settlement (Landnám) period farmsteads offer opportunities to explore the nature and timing of anthropogenic activities and environmental impacts of the first Holocene farming communities. We employ Bayesian statistical modelling of archaeological, paleoenvironmental and documentary datasets to present a framework for improving chronological robustness of archaeological events. Specifically, we discuss events relevant to the farm Hrísbr…
Cereal cultivation as a correlate of high social status in medieval Iceland
On the Ability of Geophysical Methods to Image Medieval Turf Buildings in Iceland
Structures in Iceland were traditionally built of turf, earth and, to a lesser extent, stone. As turf was the primary construction material, the contrast in geophysical parameters between building ruins and surrounding soil is expected to be low. To investigate the extent to which the remains of turf buildings can be detected by geophysical measurements, we applied several geophysical techniques to a known turf ruin in southwestern Iceland. The m…
Viking Archaeology in Iceland
Introduction to Viking Age Archaeology in Iceland’s Mosfell Valley
The Viking North Atlantic differs significantly from the popular image of violent raids and destruction characterizing the Viking Age in Northern Europe. In Iceland, Scandinavian seafarers discovered and settled a large uninhabited island. In order to survive and succeed, they adapted lifestyles and social strategies to a new environment. The result was a new society: the Icelandic Free State. This volume examines the Viking Age in Iceland throug…

Feasting in Viking Age Iceland
The authors show that the principal correlates of feasting in Viking Age Iceland were beef and barley, while feasting itself is here the primary instrument of social action. Documentary references, ethnographic analogies, archaeological excavation and biological analyses are woven together to present an exemplary procedure for the recognition of feasting more widely
Diatoms as bioindicators of site use
Metallurgical findings from a Viking Age chieftain’s farm in Iceland
A Viking-age Valley in Iceland
THIS is an account of both the history and the recent findings of the Mosfell Archaeological Project. Excavation is part of an interdisciplinary research approach that uses archaeology, history, anthropology, forensics, environmental sciences and saga studies to construct a picture of human habitation, power relationships, religious and mortuary practices, and environmental change in the region of Mosfellssveit in south-western Iceland. The valle…
The Skull and Bones in Egils Saga
"The Skull and Bones in Egils Saga: A Viking, a Grave, and Paget's Disease." For over a hundred years the related questions of saga veracity and the oral or written origins of Icelandic narrative texts have been continually debated. The nature of this discussion would change drastically if a new source of information were found. This article explores the possibility of a new informational source and offers an accompanying methodological approach.…
