Dettifossvegar:
Tóveggjarstekkur, Hræreksstaðir og Maríugerði [5.15 MB] 26 evaluation trenches were excavated in three alleged farm sites in N-Þingeyjarsýsla in advance of road construction planning. The sites are: Hræreksstekkur, Tóveggjarstekkur and Maríugerði. A few trenches revealed no occupational layers but many were dug through boundaries predating tephra from 1477 or even 1300. An oblong structure in Maríugerði requires further excavation. |
