About these Posts:
The NABO field school began as a cooperative venture with the Institute of Archaeology, Iceland (FSÍ) in 1997.
Originally the field school centred on the long running excavations at Hofstaðir, later expanding (along with the Mývatn projects) into a wider investigation of multiple Viking Age sites in the landscape.
The Mývatn field school continued through the summer of 2004, eventually providing students from 26 nations a chance to experience the hot springs, lava fields, and rich insect life of this highland lake basin.
From 2005 to 2013, the field school shifted venue to Vatnsfjörður in the impressive West Fjords of Iceland.
Since 2010 Julie Bond and Steve Dockrill have also run a NABO Fieldschool on Rousay (Orkney), which was a collaboration between University of Bradford, CUNY & Orkney College. This is part of the Against Time and Tide: Investigating The Iron Age of Orkney project.
In 2016, the NABO Field School was based at Gufuskálar in Iceland, and in 2019 the Greenland National Museum and Archives hosted an international archaeological field school for undergraduate students in South Greenland, in partnership with the Institute for Field Research.
