Kárahnjúkar	The aim of this project was to evaluate the area in the highlands north of Vatnajökull glacier affected by Hálslón, a reservoir which stores water for use in hydroelectricity, and excavate or record archaeological sites endangered by it. This involved the excavations of several smaller sites such as huts and cairns and also the full investigation of a possible shieling, called Pálstóftir.
	Þórutóftir	An erosion face was cleaned and recorded in Þórutóftir northeast of Hofsjökull glacier.
	Ráeyri in Siglufjörður	A ruin endangered by road construction in Siglufjörður was fully excavated.
	Reykjavík water front	The aim of this project was to target possible building remains in the old center and harbour area of Reykjavík, between Hafnarstræti, Pósthússtræti, Geirsgata and Lækjargata.
	Leirvogstunga	Excavations in the farm mound of Leirvogstunga, Mosfellsbær were carried out in advance of construction plans, first by trenching but later an open excavation was conducted.
	Midden in Möðruvellir	The key aim of this effort was to locate and recover animal bones, artefacts, and environmental samples from a well stratified midden sequence at Möðruvellir, in connection with ongoing archaeological work investigating local subsistence strategies in late medieval Eyjafjord.
	Eyvík in Tjörnes	Prior to construction work a trench was excavated through a boundary.
	Nauthóll	The excavations at the old farm site Nauthóll, Reykjavík, were conducted following on from an evaluation based on trial trenching in advance of a building development. An area of about 300 m2 was excavated.
	Hofstaðir in Þorskafjörður	The preliminary excavation in Hofstaðir, Þorskafjörður, aimed to shed light on ruins in the homefield often related to pagan activites.
	Naust	The excavation at Naust in the town of Akureyri took place after evaluation trenches had been dug. The work was carried out in advance of building development. Two areas were excavated and some of the archaeology clearly dates to the Viking Age.
