The Banda Research Project encompassed archaeological investigations in the Banda area, Bono Region, Ghana from 1982 through 2011. Investigations focused on sites dating to the last two millennia, with a particular focus on how life in the region was shaped by wider inter-regional and inter-continental networks. The project originated in Ann B. Stahl's PhD research (University of California, Berkeley), followed by multiple seasons of survey, site testing and wider excavations at sites dating to...

Hrísheimar 2004, Interim Report (field report) (2005)
The excavations at Hrísheimar have now been in progress for four years. The focus of the work for the first two years was more on surveying and test trenching for assessment than large scale excavation. In 2003 and 2004 the work increased with the opening of two large excavation areas. In 2003 there were two main excavation areas; one was approximately 60 m west of the farm mound; the other was just by the farm mound on its eastern side. The areas were individually sub-divided and each was given...
Hrísheimar 2005, Interim Report (field report) (2006)
The excavations at Hrísheimar have now been in progress for five years (2000-05) and this report presents the preliminary results of the 2005 season. The site area is at the edge of the active erosion front in this part of Mývatnssveit, and clearly much of the original land surface and archaeological deposits have been destroyed completely by wind erosion. However the site has proven to be surprisingly productive and continued investigations have opened up some unexpected new...
Hrísheimar 2006, Interim report (field report) (2007)
In 2006 excavations in Units E and L cleared midden from three structures dating to the early Viking Age, and completed excavations in the southern half of the 2005 exposure (ca 50 sq m), taking this area down to the Landnám tephra sequence (LNS). These structures are; C a sunken featured structure (pit house), D a latrine, and S a shallow depression bounded by post holes possibly representing a very early hut or tent structure. The establishment of a secure chronology connecting...

Midden Investigations at Hrísheimar, N Iceland 2003 (field report) (2003)
During the 2001 season, the Landscapes of Settleement project began excavations at Hrísheimar near the modern farm of Baldursheimar in Mývatnssveit N Iceland. This long-abandoned site has been heavily eroded for some time, and visitors have found Viking age artifacts and bone fragments eroding out on the surface for many years. The 2001 season excavated a 2 x 2 m unit (H) placed over an eroding concentration of ani l bones just to the S E of the visible farm mound, on the edge of the only...
North Atlantic Biocultural Organization (NABO)
This project file contains NABO publications. NABO was founded over 20 years ago to attempt to cross-cut national and disciplinary boundaries and to help North Atlantic scholars make the most of the immense research potential of our damp and lovely research area. NABO has worked to aid in improving basic data comparability, in assisting practical fieldwork and interdisciplinary ventures, in promoting student training, and in better communicating our findings to other scholars, funding...
Report on Soil Samples from Saugus Ironworks, Saugus, Massachusetts (2005)
Six flotation samples and one palynological sample from prehistoric contexts at the Saugus Iron Works site in Massachusetts were submitted to the Fiske Center for macrobotanical and palynological assessment and analysis. The palynological sample's low pollen grain density and high proportion of Liguliforae pollen suggested that attempting an accurate vegetation reconstruction at this site through palynological analysis may be impossible due to weathering and preservation concerns. While...
