Myrkardalur

Small 17th and 18th century collection from high elevation Icelandic site.

In summer of 2008 and 2009, the Gásir Hinterlands Project investigated the potential for midden remains at Myrkárdalur, a farm ruin site situated in a highland area in the most interior part of a minor valley system in Hörgárdalur, Eyjafjörður. The results of these exercises were two small collections of archaeological materials from two middens of the post-medieval and Early Modern Periods.
