一项对冰岛北部朗霍尔特地区维京时代定居模式的考古调查表明，这一顺序的早期给这片以前无人居住的土地的定居者带来了巨大的优势。许多农场是在冰岛人定居期间建立的（大约始于公元70年）。今天仍在使用。然而，进入维京时代的景观是困难的。在Langholt，大多数最早的农场都被埋在千年的职业废墟下，而废弃的地方则被广泛的土壤沉积所覆盖。在这里，我们报告了我们的岩心和测试挖掘结果，概述了维京时代农庄的位置、建立日期和维京时代结束时的最大规模。农地规模与建立时间有很强的相关性。这种相关性表明，在冰岛的快速定居期间，早期定居者建立的农场更富裕，而且财富持续了下来。
An archaeological survey of the Viking Age settlement pattern in the Langholt region of North Iceland suggests that being early in this sequence conferred tremendous advantages to the settlers of this previously uninhabited landscape. Many of the farms established during the settlement of Iceland (which began abouta.d.870) are in use today. However, accessing the Viking Age landscape is difficult. In Langholt the earliest layers of most farmsteads are buried under a thousand years of occupational debris, while the abandoned sites have been covered by extensive soil deposition. Here we report on our coring and test excavation results that outline Viking Age farmstead location, establishment date, and maximum size by the end of the Viking Age. There is a strong correlation between farmstead size and establishment date. This correlation suggests that during the rapid settlement of Iceland, the farmsteads established by earlier settlers were wealthier and that wealth endured.
