Dugmore and Newton volcanic history and eruption frequency (e.g. Larsen, 2000; Óladóttir et al., 2005, 2008, 2011a, 2011b). Geomorphological, palaeoenvironmental and archae- ological applications, however, additionally require engagement with poorly developed tephra sequences, complex stratigraphies, isochrons, time transgressive horizons and the consideration of a wide range of de- posits. When this is done, it can illustrate the power of tephrochronology, even in less than ideal settings. The same approaches to tephrochronology have po- tentially wide ranging applications in other volcani- cally active regions.

The support of the local community through many years of research is also greatly appreciated, in particular Kristján Ólafsson of Seljaland and Rósa Aðalsteins- dóttir of Stóramörk. We are also grateful for reviews by Megan Hicks, Siwan Davies and Olgeir Sigmars- son which have materially improved this paper, which is a product of NABO (North Atlantic Biocultural Or- ganisation). ÁGRIP Gjóskutímatal er mikilvægt í rannsóknum á landmót- un svæða. Gjóskulögin eru almennt notuð til að skil- greina jafntímafleti og tímasetja umhverfið sem þau finnast í. Gjóskutímatal kemur að mestum notum þeg- ar bæði vel þekktir jafntímafletir eða leiðarlög (út- breidd gjóskulög með greinileg og vel skilgreind ein- kenni ásamt traustri aldurgreiningu) og önnur gjósku- lög á svæðinu eru notuð í sameiningu. Þar með telj- ast gjóskulög af óþekktum uppruna og einnig lög sem eru endurflutt, en slíkt lag verður ekki endilega til á sama augnabliki á hverjum stað (er "time transgressi- ve") og er því ekki af sama aldri alls staðar þar sem það finnst. Gjóskutímatal sem tekur til allra þessa þátta nýtist best þar sem fjöldi sniða er mældur en gera þarf skarpan greinarmun á óhreyfðum gjóskulögum, sem mynda raunverulega jafntímafleti, og endurflutt- um lögum. Með mörgum mælingum á gjóskulaga- skipan í jarðvegi á tilteknu svæði má fá betri skiln- ing á landmótunarferlum og á áhrifum mannvistar á umhverfið. Röð gjóskulaga af óþekktum sem þekkt- um uppruna og aldri getur myndað eins konar "strika- merki"("barcode") sem nýtast bæði til að treysta teng- ingar milli jarðvegssniða og til að fá nákvæmari upp- lýsingar um aðstæður í umhverfinu en þegar eingöngu eru notuð strjálli leiðarlög. Nákvæmar mælingar á gjóskulögunum og jarðveginum á milli þeirra í fjölda sniða geta leitt í ljós fíngerðar breytingar á stöðugleika landslags sem og breytingar á landnýtingu með tíma.
