This report provides an update on the ongoing analysis of the Viking Age to Late Norse archaeofauna recovered during the 2003 – 2006 excavations at the site of Undir Junkarinsfløtti (UJF), Sandoy, Faroe Islands. Nearly 60,000 bone and shell fragments have been analyzed to date, some three quarters of which have been identified to species ...

Archaeological excavations were carried out at the site of Undir Junkarinsfløtti, on the island of Sandoy, Faroe Islands in the summers of 2003 through 2006. These excavations produced a substantial amount of well-preserved midden material associated with a Viking Age to Late Norse structure. Ongoing analysis of these archaeofauna has resulted in the identification of ...

This is a rather simple-minded spreadsheet model (orginally Q Pro, now MS Excel) attempting to put together as many roughly quantifiable factors affecting herding and community economic decisions on the scale of the Icelandic hreppur (15-25 farm community) as makes any sense. It was developed for Greenland, making use of the archaeofauna and architectural data ...

Búmodel: an environmental simulation model of historical land management in the North Atlantic Búmodel is an environmental simulation model that facilitates the integration of landscape ecology, environmental archaeology and historical analysis. The purpose of the model is to predict spatial and temporal patterns of vegetation biomass and production and utilisation (grazing, hay making) in a historical ...
