Project Description

Parent Project Title: Sub Projects	The Norse Settlement in the Vatnahverfi Region, South Greenland c. AD 985 - c. AD 1450 Ø172 Tatsip Ataa Midden Excavation Project - Subsistence Strategies and Economy in Norse Vatnahverfi Ø68 Timerliit Excavation Project - IPY - 2008
Title:	Greenland - The Vatnahverfi Project - Settlement, economy, and depopulation.
Description	The aim of the programme is to discuss landnam (landtaking) strategies and the later depopulation in the light of the interplay between the two economic spheres of the Norse Greenland Economy: subsistence based on the resources of the local, settled area in South Greenland and foreing long-distance trade based on the North and East Greeland resources. Identity, mobility, communication and human strategies are key concepts and focus are on the interaction between humans (action), systems (structure) and environment. Status Nov. 2009: Except from a few all Norse sites in the Vatnahverfi region have been GPS Surveyed and excavations have been carried out in middens at several farms. A dating programme of the farms in the area has been initiated. xxxx Publications: Madsen, Christian Koch: Får, geder og folde i det norrøne Vatnahverfi.
