The summer of 2008 was the fourth season with archaeological field work in the Vatnahverfi region in the Norse Eastern Settlement. The main purpose of the project is to investigate and discuss cultural, social and economic strategies of the Norse Greenland settlement from landnam in the late 980´ties to depopulation in the later part of the ...

The project Resources, Mobility, and Cultural Identity in Norse Greenland AD 980 – 1450 integrates studies of single sites and a regional study of the Vatnahverfi region in the Norse Eastern Settlement.

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 ...

The NSF-funded QGreenland project has recently launched their free GIS tool. This is run through QGIS and contains a really wide range of data. Led by the Snow and Ice Data Center, it was produced by an international group of researchers and educators.
