摘要 冰岛东北部埃亚峡湾的加西尔遗址于 2001 年至 2006 年期间进行了挖掘，揭示了中世纪冰岛较大的季节性贸易中心之一的细节。对该地点的跨学科调查揭示了该地点的组织情况，并确认了珍贵物品（矛隼、海象牙）和集中出口的散装货物（硫磺）的文件记录。加西尔是冰岛人和中世纪欧洲世界之间的文化接触和经济交流的主要地点，动物考古学分析表明这里有多种饮食方式和外来动物，以及发达的供应系统，为贸易商提供了优质的肉类和新鲜的鱼类。这些发掘表明，季节性占领的地点对周围乡村产生了意想不到的区域经济影响，并有助于对中世纪冰岛海外贸易的范围和影响进行持续调查。
Abstract The site of Gásir in Eyjafjörđur in northeast Iceland was excavated from 2001–2006, revealing details of one of the larger seasonal trading centers of medieval Iceland. Interdisciplinary investigations of the site have shed light upon the organization of the site and provided confirmation of documentary accounts of both prestige items (gyrfalcons, walrus ivory) and bulk goods (sulphur) concentrated for export. Gásir was a major point of cultural contact as well as economic exchange between Icelanders and the world of medieval Europe, and the zooarchaeological analyses indicated a mix of foodways and the presence of exotic animals and a well-developed provisioning system, which supplied high-quality meat and fresh fish to the traders. The excavations demonstrated an unexpected regional-level economic impact of the seasonally occupied site on the surrounding rural countryside, and contribute to ongoing investigations of the extent and impact of overseas trade in medieval Iceland.
