Author(s): Gavin M. Lucas
Year: 2023
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
This paper explores the tension between moveable and immoveable wealth among different households and communities in postmedieval iceland. Drawing on archaeological research at several sites dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, the connections between human and object mobilities will be explored in relation to issues of social mobility in a society that remained substantially rural until the 19th century.
