NARSS Talk: Geoarchaelogical quest for seasonal occupation: shielings in the North Atlantic region
-

This is a past event

 In this talk I will discuss the results of my doctoral project, which contributed new archaeological evidence to the debate on transhumance in the Viking and Medieval Periods in Iceland and the Outer Hebrides. I will examine shielings in these two regions at new levels of detail, and with new techniques, to improve the previous methodologies for the identification of periodically occupied settlements.
