In 2007 area G of the Eyri site in Ísafjörður, NW Iceland was object of a midden assessment undertaken by the Archaeological Institute of Iceland. The midden mound in area G is associated with the farm mound at Eyri in downtown Ísafjörður. The farm mound was previously trenched for occupational layers in 2003 and 2004 (Taylor et al 2005), yielding an assortment of animal remains that were analyzed in 2005 (Krivogorskaya & McGovern 2005). Upon coring the midden mound to define its...

Preliminary Report of Archaeological Fieldwork at Svalbard (Svalbardshreppur), 2008 (field report) (2008)
This document is a preliminary report of archaeological fieldwork conducted at and around the farm of Svalbard, Svalbardshreppur, in June 2008. An initial evaluation of the archaeological potential of Svalbard was made by archaeologists of the Iceland Palaeoeconomy Project (IPP) in 1986, revealing the presence of deep midden deposits adjacent to the extant farm mound, on the bank of the bank of the Svalbarsa River. Test excavations and then large scale excavations of this midden...
A Preliminary Report of the 2008 Midden Excavation at Skutustadir, N Iceland (field report) (2008)
In 2007, midden deposits associated with the 9th-19th c. archaeological site of Skutustadir in the Lake Myvatn District of N. Iceland were located. The remains were first noted by Arni Einarsson of the Myvatn Science Station and later, more extensively surveyed by CUNY archaeologists. In 2008, an international team lead by CUNY and FSI excavated three trenches and located midden deposits which are the subject of this preliminary zoooarchaeological report. The trenches exposed archaeological...
Preliminary Report of the Archaeofauna at Skálholt, Iceland (2007)
This report presents results of a preliminary analysis of the archaeofauna at the Episcopal farm of Skálholt, Arnessyslá, southern Iceland. This report presents the preliminary analysis of group 634. Group 634 was a 3X5 meter trench oriented lengthwise north to south opened up on June 28th of 2004 by Birna Lárusdóttir. Further excavation of this group was conducted by George Hambrecht during June of 2005, and a 1x3 meter extension was opened up off of the north end of the initial trench....

Report of Animal Bones from Selhagi, Mývatn District, Northern Iceland (2003)
In 2001 the FSĺ / NABO project Landscapes of Settlement in Northern Iceland collected animal bones from a stratified midden deposit associated with the abandoned site Selhagi on the property of the modern farm Haganes. Selhagi is located in the lushly vegetated lakeshore zone and its environmental setting presents a strong contrast with the eroded uplands to the S of the lake where the early sites at Sveigakot and Hrísheimur are under excavation. Close to both major migratory waterfowl nesting...
Report of Archaeofauna from Undir Sandmúla and Undir Bálabrekku, Bárðdælahreppur, N Iceland (2006)
Small archaeofauna from two highland sites located above 400 m above sea level, over 100 km inland in the upper reaches of the Skjálfandafljót river valley indicate the early presence of human settlement in this far inland area. While heavily deflated, the site of Undir Sandmúla produced an archaeofauna from stratified context directly above the Landnam sequence tephra, probably dating to the late 9th or early 10th century. This collection is from a highly burnt ”fireplace cleaning” deposit...

RH_Möðruvellir_HERC_NORSEC_Report_NR_59 (2011)
This report presents results on zooarchaeological analysis from the Möðruvellir Midden Mound, or Öskuhóll, adjacent to the site’s extensive farm mound. Möðruvellir, likely a chieftain’s farm during the Settlement period, became House of Canons/Augustinian Monastery in the late 13th C, and remained an important ecclesiastical center even after the Reformation. Beyond functioning as religious institution, it served as seat for the regional governor for the Danish Crown at least during the Early...
