- From our initial excavations, we now have a far better picture of the Medieval settlement pattern of the region, and have begun to relate this to the local socio-economic and ecological systems.
- A basic fact is that Mosfell and the surrounding farms were not isolated habitations or farms that had to be abandoned a few centuries after the initial Viking Age settlement. Instead, they were part of a frequently prosperous and long-lived valley system of human habitation.
- Given the complimentary skills of our interdisciplinary team in social history, physical anthropology, geology, and paleoecology, our future research on how the Mosfell valley and its inhabitants evolved over the centuries promises to be extremely fruitful. We look forward to continuing this exciting work.
