Sheilings in the North Atlantic Region
-
This is a past event
NARSS Talk: Geoarchaelogical quest for seasonal occupation: shielings in the North Atlantic region will be given by Dr Patrycja Kupiec.
Dr Kupiec will discuss the results of her doctoral project, which contributed new archaeological evidence to the debate on transhumance in the Viking and Medieval Periods in Iceland and the Outer Hebrides.
Shielings in these two regions will be examined at new levels of detail, and with new techniques, to improve the previous methodologies for the identification of periodically occupied settlements.
