The Ecclesiastical Economy. The Power of the Church in Post-Reformation Iceland
Author(s): Gavin M. Lucas
Year: 2023
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Governance and Globalization in the North Atlantic", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
This paper explores the way the Bishop's seat of Skálholt in south Iceland managed its diocese during the 17th and 18th centuries and especially, its role in mediating the global and the local through its administrative structure. Drawing on both the rich archaeological research at the site and a wealth of documentary sources, a key focus will be on the role of foreign trade and the role of imported goods and the networks along which they flowed.
