- The Mosfell Valley (Mosfellsdalur), the surrounding highlands, and the lowland coastal areas are a “valley system,” that is, an interlocking series of natural and man-made pieces that beginning in the ninth-century settlement or Landnám period developed into a functioning Viking Age, Icelandic community.
- Focusing on this valley system, our task is to unearth the prehistory and early history of the Mosfell region.
- We seek the data to provide an in-depth understanding of how this countryside or sveit evolved from its earliest origins.
