Fornleifakönnun við Aðalstræti 10 [0.82 MB]
Trial trenches were excavated in advance of building construction on the western side of an upstanding house in Aðalstræti 10, central Reykjavík. The aim was to see whether archaeological deposits were present in this area known to be rich of remains from both the 18th century and Viking Age. Only brick and roof tile fragments were found, most likley deriving from the house present today. Most trenches showed signs of 20th century truncation. However some undisturbed midden layers were found in the western part of the area, the uppermost part dating to the 20th century judging from finds. It was recommended that these should be removed by archaeologists.
