As part of an interdisciplinary project, 19 sites of 16 farms of the -staðir and staðr (one case) farm name class were investigated by means of palynological analysis and radiological datings of peat deposits close to the farm centre. In a rough summing-up it can be stated that only four to five cases showed a continuously high farming activity from approximately A.D. 200–300 to the Medieval period. Two to three cases were most likely founded or radically expanded during the Viking Age. Nine cases exhibited a more or less profound depression during the Merovingian Era, most of them representing a desertion period. Five to six of the latter cases arc concentrated around A.D. 660. We suggest that the staðir farms investigated were named during one or both of the following periods: A.D. 160–390 and A.D. 780–920.
