Scope
Archaeologia Islandica is the first and
only venue specially dedicated to aspects
of Icelandic archaeology and material cul-
ture and provides a forum for the wider
dissemination of such work to the intema-
tional community. The scope of the jour-
nal covers any aspect of archaeology and
material culture relating to Iceland from
the 9th century colonization of the island
by Vikings to 19th century emigration
of Icelanders to Canada - and beyond.
Papers of archaeological fieldwork and
artifact studies as well related histori-
cal, ethnographic and linguistic research
are all welcomed, as are papers on mate-
rial from outside Iceland but which are
clearly relevant to discourses on Icelandic
archaeology and material culture.
