We have put up the report on the 2016 geophysics and coring report from the work at Hegranesþing on the farm of Garður. Hegranesþing is an important Viking Age assembly site. The report presents evidence for specific locations of Viking Age domestic activity.

Before coming to UMass Boston, John taught at UCLA and California State University Northridge. He is interested in the economic problems of colonization, both in New England and across the North Atlantic.
