This award supports a Dissertation Improvement Grant for doctoral student Frank Feeley. Researcher Feeley will be working closely with PI Tom McGovern to explore the site of Gufuskálar in western Iceland. This dissertation improvement grant will support two seasons of archaeological investigation of the site in order to better understand its role in the early "global" economy of Icleand, as well as the origins of the modern world economic system. The site of Gufuskálar is important as it's one of the few surviving examples of the handful of large medieval fishing stations. These stations marked Iceland's introduction into the growing world system of medieval trade, which is the basis for our modern world economic system. The investigation will use a unique methodology of examinining fish crania to determine the movement from subsistence to commodity fisheries in Iceland during the Viking period. In addition, both sea and wind are quickly eroding the site, which is one of the largest medieval fishing stations in Iceland. This project will contribute to the preservation of information in danger of being lost and will contribute to the preservation of this important site itself.

该奖项支持博士生Frank Feeley的论文改进补助金。研究员费利将与PI汤姆·麦戈文密切合作，探索冰岛西部Gufuskálar地点。这项论文改进基金将支持对该遗址进行两个季节的考古调查，以便更好地了解它在冰岛早期“全球”经济中的作用，以及现代世界经济体系的起源。Gufuskálar的位置很重要，因为它是少数幸存的中世纪大型渔站之一。这些驿站标志着冰岛加入了日益壮大的中世纪世界贸易体系，这是我们现代世界经济体系的基础。这项调查将使用一种独特的方法来检查鱼的头盖骨，以确定维京时期冰岛从自给渔业到商品渔业的转变。此外，海水和风正在迅速侵蚀这个地方，这里是冰岛最大的中世纪捕鱼站之一。该项目将有助于保存有丢失危险的信息，并将有助于保护这一重要遗址本身。
