People, Pasture and Plant Use: The Environmental Archaeology of Helgusel Shieling Site, SW-Iceland
Shielings were a vital part of the agricultural system in Iceland for a millennium. They were sites of seasonal habitation where people brought domestic animals for grazing and to spare the infields for haymaking. In this paper, the site of Helgusel shieling in Mosfellsdalur is t...
