World systems and human ecodynamics in medieval Eyjafjorthur, north Iceland : Gasir and its hinterlands
This dissertation examines the potential connections between the Eyjafjorthur region and the centrally located Gasir, home to a medieval trading site and a large church structure. Historical sources document the presence of Icelanders at Gasir and an interpretation of those sources suggests interactions between a seasonal trading community at the trading site made up of Icelanders and non-Icelandic (mainly Norwegian) merchants and sailors in the 13th-14th centuries
