The technological advances of the last decades in dating methods have modified the relationship between archaeology and medieval Icelandic texts that was commonplace until the middle of the twentieth century. The focus is no longer on comparing the information provided by medieval texts but on carrying out other types of research that have allowed a more accurate dating of the first settlement of Iceland, and have offered information on the exploitation of resources and environmental impact during the colonization of Iceland in the ninth century. In this article, I will analyse two fragments of the Landnámabók, the thirteenth-century book that describes the colonization of Iceland, with the aim of establishing a renewed dialogue between recent archaeological discoveries on the island and the medieval sources devoted to Iceland. Los avances tecnológicos en los métodos de datación de las últimas décadas han modificado la relación que se estableció entre la arqueología y los textos medievales islandeses hasta mediados del siglo XX: el foco ya no consiste en cotejar la información entre los textos medievales sino en realizar otro tipo de investigaciones que, si bien nos han permitido fechar el asentamiento de Islandia con mayor rigurosidad, también ofrecen información sobre la explotación de los recursos o el impacto medioambiental durante la colonización de Islandia en el siglo IX.
