Description

This presentation describes archeological excavations at Kotid, a small Viking Age dwelling site in North Iceland. The presenter will describe the history of the project, a brief analysis of the buildings excavated at Kotid, the data collected from them and their experience as a JSU student working on this archeological excavation. The presenter will also share an artistic representation which is a part of an extended project they will present later in the spring at the Society for American Archaeology’s 89th Annual meeting. This rendering of the Viking Age turf dwelling at Kotid demonstrates how this structure differs from previously excavated turf dwellings in Viking Age Iceland.
