Preliminary Report of Animal Bones from Skalholt, Iceland 2002 Season

This report will present a preliminary analysis of the mammal bones from unit 454 at Skalholt. This unit was found in Midden Test D, excavated by Dr. Jim Woollett, Dr. Mike Church, Matthew Brown, and Kate Krivogorskaya during June and July of 2003. The methodologies followed, as well as descriptions and discussion regarding the other Midden Test Pits can be found in Dr. Jim Woollett’s report in the Skalholt 2003 report.

Unit 454 represents roughly two-thirds of the total volume of bones excavated in 2003 at Skalholt. The remaining third is made up of a great number of small (one-bag) units. Work on these units is ongoing.
