| Summary: | The Skagafjörður Church and Settlement Survey (SCASS) is an archaeological project. It seeks to determine if the settlement pattern of the 9th-century colonization of Iceland affected the development of the religious and economic institutions that dominated the 14th century. The research builds on the combined methods of two projects, the Skagafjörður Archaeological Settlement Survey and the Skagafjörður Church Project. One has focused on Viking Age settlement patterns. The other has been investigating the changing geography of early Christian cemeteries. Together, the research seeks to understand the connections between the Viking settlement hierarchy and the Christian consolidation. |
