North Atlantic Archaeology, Culture, History and Human Ecodynamics
The North Atlantic data sets listed here resulted from a variety of archaeological, historical, cultural and environmental projects carried out over recent decades. A particular aim was to promote long term data comparability and to provide both a long term data archive and a set of analytic tools immediately addressing current joint research objectives.

ING 10 Zooarch Report_16 Oct 2010 (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The 2010 archaeological excavation at the pre-1300 AD site of Ingiríðarstaðir, N Iceland, resulted in the recovery of some 365 animal bone fragments. Of these, 121 were identifiable to species. The archaeofaunal assemblage, generally poorly-preserved, is comprised entirely of domestic animals. Cattle and caprines dominate the specimens identifiable to species level, though the assemblage does also include one pig bone and the remains of a domestic cat.

Mammal Consumption at the Medieval Fishing Station at Gufuskálar A Preliminary Zooarchaeology Report from the 2011 Excavation (2012)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
This report details the analysis of mammal bones recovered from one of the four trenches excavated at the medieval fishing station of Gufuskálar during the summer of 2011. During excavation it was noted that there seemed to be a high proportion of mammal bones recovered which correspond with high quality cuts of meat. This was counter to our assumptions regarding the economic status of fishermen during the medieval era as these cuts of meat would be rather expensive. The preliminary...
