Trenches were dug to establish whether topographic features observed on the surface were archaeological structures or the result of earth’s surface processes. Excavations exposed about 35 square metres of vertical stratigraphy. Although all the features proved to be natural formations, the stratigraphy did record phases of erosion and stabilisation reflecting changing human impacts on the landscape. This illustrates the potential of an outstanding tephra record to enhance our understanding of the past. Hreiðarsdóttir, E.Ó., Þórsdóttir, K. and Dugmore, A.J.

This is the result of international collaborative NABO research over many years. Abstract Most edible fish species have been fished for centuries or millennia, leaving little record or understanding of their population responses prior to human impact and thus no baseline for population conservation. Here, we reconstruct the population dynamics of Atlantic cod, one of the world’s most harvested fish species, from the pristine state during the Viking era through more than 1100 years of fishing. Analysis of cod otoliths recovered during archaeological excavations of Icelandic fish processing sites revealed that cod in the 10th to 12th centuries were 25% larger and up to 300% older than modern, despite slower density-dependent growth rates attributed to the sixfold increase in abundance. Fishing mortality came to dominate a time-invariant natural mortality rate and other population characteristics after the 14th century, with minimal evidence of environmental effects at the century scale. Despite the absence of catch records and surveys, biological reference points based on pristine fish populations are now possible where otolith collections are available.

We conducted a rapid coring survey over two days in 2014, allowing us to sketch a preliminary environmental and settlement history of the region.

Greenland RESPONSE is a short documentary film which explores this farming heritage through the lens of archaeology, following an international team of researchers racing to excavate organic remains from Norse sites rapidly degrading due to rising global temperatures. I joined the team relatively last minute – in May 2022 I had a phone call with lead archaeologist Konrad Smiarowski and a month later in June I arrived in Narsarsuaq with my camera gear and instructions on how to find my way to the harbour in Igaliku where the team would pick me up and take me back to camp in Vatnahverfi. Two boat journeys, a short hike and an ATV ride later and I arrived at Qorlortukasik – better known as ‘Andala’s farm’ – where the rest of the team had been set up for a week already. That first summer was spent getting to know the team and familiarising myself with the archaeology. I often find it hard to describe what I do in a single job title because working in science communication means I need to be a ‘jack of all trades’ to some extent. It is perhaps simplest to start at the beginning – I studied archaeology at university and from there specialised as a reconstruction artist and illustrator which has seen me working with animation, 3D modelling, interaction design, painting, drawing – and now filmmaking. Having this background in archaeology helps me quickly embed into projects and, particularly when I’m working on architectural reconstructions, being able to jump in and dig with the team is an invaluable part of the process. In Vatnahverfi however, the story wasn’t so much in understanding the buildings. Instead, the aim of this project was to excavate middens from two significant Norse farm sites at Qorlortukasik and Tasilikulooq. These sites were identified as being at a higher risk from a combination of erosion (Qorlortukasik) and drying out of previously waterlogged soil (Tasilikulooq) risking the continued preservation of organic remains. Early in the fieldwork I sat down for a chat with project leaders Konrad Smiarowski (University of Bergen Museum) and Michael Nielsen (Greenland National Museum & Archives) to discuss what story we wanted to tell. It became apparent that there was an interesting parallel narrative emerging in the relationship between the Norse farmers in the past and the modern Inuit farming community in the area today. In making the film we wanted to bring a together a balance of specialist insights from archaeologists alongside perspectives from local voices and to make clear the tangible connection between farming in the past and present. To begin with we spoke with local farmers Andala Lund and Magnus Hansen. Both are good friends of the project and have a keen interest in the Norse farms which shaped the landscape they continue to farm on today. For the archaeologists too, this is a mutual interest as the farmers often share insights into their local knowledge of the landscape and the challenges of farming in this unique environment. For archaeologist Michael Nielsen these connections to place are especially meaningful. Michael is a Greenlander and grew up in the town of Narsaq, one fjord over from where we are working now. Over the course of the project the two of us formed an effective team not just because he was able to lead the interviews in his first language of Kalaallisut, but his knowledge of the character and identity of the region helped to define the story we wanted to tell. Michael also seems to know absolutely everybody in south Greenland and it’s impossible to go anywhere without stopping to chat – an ideal situation for a filmmaker arriving to south Greenland for the first time and getting a feel for the place and people. Back onsite the conversation often reflected on how much these sites were changing since the early excavations when it was not uncommon to find leather artefacts and even feathers. Today there are fewer and fewer surviving organic remains across these sites and frequently the faunal material from the midden are described as ‘butter bone’ – bone so degraded it smears like butter when touched. Almost entirely useless when it comes to diagnostics and further analysis.  Of course, not all sites are in such poor condition, the midden at Tasilikulooq is waterlogged enough that the material is still well preserved – a contrast that gives pause for thought to just how much we have certainly lost to the past 30 or so years of rapid anthropogenic global warming. The changing climate and increasingly uncharacteristically unpredictable weather is a topic the locals bring up frequently also. I rejoined the team in the field again in 2023 to wrap up filming and help with some excavation. Rising global temperatures compounded by a strong El Niño phase that year made for an especially dry summer in the inner fjords. The farmers were worried about their fodder crops for the coming winter, while the archaeologists were being toasted alive in the field. I messaged the crew to see if I could pick up anything from town on my way in and received a one-word response – “suncream!”. Working in archaeology might not seem like an obvious place from which to contribute to narratives around climate change, but in certain circumstances it can present a unique perspective on how people adapted (or not) to changes in the past. In some ways it is an opportunity to consider what it means to be resilient when we are faced with an uncertain future. What we can be certain of is that in the coming years the urgency to excavate these increasingly fragile sites and rescue what remains is only going to increase.   The film is an outcome of the NSF grant “Coproduction of knowledge and the building of local archaeological capacity in Greenland” by Hunter College CUNY with principal investigators Tom McGovern (IHOPE SSC), Jette Arneborg, Konrad Smiarowski, Christian Koch Madsen, and Ian Simpson.

Anyone who is a registered member of the website can submit an event for adding to the calendar. You need to be logged in to add an event. To make the events appear on the calendar, they also need to be published by an admin or editor. This is to protect the calendar from spamming. If you are a NABO blogger, you will also be able to publish your own events. Where to add an event The ‘Add New Event’ form is at this URL: https://www.nabohome.org/nabo/events/add-new-event/. You can also get to this screen by clicking the ‘Add Event’ button in the sidebar of the calendar and events pages (see screenshot below). Adding an event: Step by step The first question to answer is the name of the event. The next question is asking whether the event is only intended for a particular group. These are groups set up on the NABO website for members with particular interests. A list of NABO groups can be found on the NABO Groups page. If the event is for everyone, pick the option ‘Not a Group Event’. Next come the questions about the event date(s) and times, starting with whether it is a recurring event. Recurring event options include a date range, whether the event repeats daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or after a particular number of days, and how many days each event lasts, as shown in this screenshot: If it’s not a recurring event, you’ll skip some of those questions and get the questions about date range, event start and end times, and which time zone the event times apply to, as shown in these screenshots: The next question has a simple text editing box for adding a description of the event, and any more relevant information: The next question offers you a list of event categories to choose from: Currently, the options are Conferences, Workshops, Seminars and Webinars, and Summer Schools and Field Schools. If the event should be in a different category, please pick ‘All Event Categories’, and contact us after submitting the form to let us know what it should be. Our contact form is here: NABO Contact Form. The last question asks you to upload a banner image for your event. If you haven’t got one, I recommend taking a photo of the event’s flyer or a screenshot of the online booking page for the event, which you should link to in the details. It will look best if the picture is in landscape format, like this: The final thing to do is to click the ‘Submit Event’ button at the end of the form. This will send your event to be published by an admin. If you need to edit an event after it’s published, log in and go to the event page, and look for the ‘Edit Event’ option at the top of the page in the toolbar: If you don’t have access to edit this, please contact NABO admins to edit this forRead More »How to Add an Event to the NABO Calendar
