THE LEIRVÍK “B0NHÚSTOFTIN” AND THE EARLY CHRISTIANITY OF THE FaROE ISLANDS, AND BEYOND
munduT Ólafsson, Þjóðminjasafn íslands,
who provided information on some of
the Icelandic sites, to Eivind Weihe of
the Fróðskaparsetur Foroya who kindly
provided information on place-names, to
the Faroese Cadastral Office (Matrikul-
stóvan) who put aerial photographs at
their disposal, and to Irene Seiten, Danish
Polar Center and Mette Cecilie Krause,
Copenhagen, for computer-graphics,
as well as to Rhoda Cronin, University
College Cork, for preparing Fig. 14. In
particular, they also wish to thank Orri
Vésteinsson, Fornleifastofnun íslands,
for his comments on an earlier draft of
this paper (though he may not agree
with all that is proposed in the paper).
They also wish to acknowledge funding
from the Department of Archaeology,
University College Cork, towards the
costs of visiting the site at Glencolum-
bcille (JS), and to the Nordic Research
Council for the Humanities (NOS-H)
who sponsored SSH. The planning of
the Leirvík site took place in connection
with a visit by the authors to the Faroe
Islands, where travel and accommodation
costs were funded by the local historical
societies of Vág, Tvoroyri and Porkeri, in
Suðuroy, to whom they express sincere
thanks.
