CUNY Doctoral Program in Archaeology zaglobax@yahoo.com
Introduction July and August 2009 and June and July 2010 were the fifth and sixth seasons of
the collaborative Norse Settlement in the Vatnahverfi Region, South Greenland
ca. AD 985 – 1450 Project. The Danish Middle Ages & Renaissance Department
at The Danish National Museum and the Greenland National Museum and
2
Archives (NKA) collaborated with the Northern Science and Education Center at
City University of New York (NORSEC/CUNY) to complete an interdisciplinary
archaeological project in Southwestern Greenland, in the Qaqortoq Municipality.
The project, Resources, Mobility and Cultural Identity in Norse Greenland AD
980-1450 is a part of a larger NABO (North Atlantic Biocultural Organization) and
IPY (International Polar Year) program Human Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic
Initiative, which works to coordinate international interdisciplinary projects in the
Shetlands, Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland (see www.nabohome.org).
Project History & Staff
Dr. Jette Arneborg and Dr. Thomas H. McGovern are the principal investigators
and directors of the project. Konrad Smiarowski was the excavation director at
E172 Tatsip Ataa in 2009 and 2010, and Christian Koch Madsen was the survey
director (see Madsen 2010 for survey report). The field crew was a highly
experienced and skilled mixture of graduate/PhD students from several
institutions and countries, who participated in excavations throughout the North
Atlantic region and continental Europe: Christian Koch Madsen (The Danish

National Museum), Louise Felding (The Danish National Museum), Seth
Brewington (CUNY Graduate Center), Ramona Harrison (CUNY Graduate
Center), Norie Manigault (CUNY Graduate Center), Antony Mustchin ( Bradford
University), Jade De La Paz (Brooklyn College CUNY), Tomasz Kolosek
(Warsaw University), Louis-Carl de Balduc (Laval University) and Michael
Nielsen (Greenland University). Poul Baltzer Heide from Aarhus University
participated in the excavation for 5 days after his survey project in 2009.The field
crews from both seasons are owed special thanks for their hard work, and
positive attitude that characterized every member of the team.
Project Objectives
The Norse economy in Greenland was strongly dependent upon a balance of
both marine resources (seals, sea birds, walruses) and terrestrial resources
(pasture plants, woodland, fertilized soils, domestic mammals, reindeer)
(McGovern 1985, 2000, McGovern et al 1996, Enghoff 2003). The Vatnahverfi
project aims at improving understanding of the Norse farming and hunting
strategies, as well as the use of other local resources (woodland, pasture, marine
and freshwater resources) in the Vatnahverfi area, and how they changed in the
face of climatic and environmental changes, especially with the arrival of summer
sea ice ca. 1250-1300 and the cooling and increased variability of the 15th
century (Ogilvie et al 2009, Dugmore et al 2007, 2012). This in turn may have
affected the settlement pattern, and the use of landscape and natural resources
in this inner fjord part of the Norse Eastern Settlement. Through zooarchaeology
and environmental archaeology, we aim to reconstruct the human ecodynamics
of that region and collect data that will be basis for a broader comparison with
other places in the Norse North Atlantic.
The farm site E172 Tatsip Ataa was chosen after the completion of a coring
survey and an excavation of a 2x3m trench at this farm complex in 2007, which
located and dated the midden (Śmiarowski 2007, Møller et.al. 2007). The overall
main objectives for both (2009-10) field seasons were to continue excavations of
4
the midden. The 2007 survey and excavation results confirmed good organic
preservation (preserved wood, bark, and small whale baleen artifacts with soil ph
6.2 in most of the midden layers), and produced sizable archaeofauna and
artifact collections. Further investigation of bone and artifact density, and
excavation of datable patches of cultural deposits to recover a sample of
ecofacts and artifacts from the midden layers was the main aim of the 2009-10
excavations.
Well preserved organic remains are becoming increasingly rare in the Norse
Eastern Settlement due to climate warming in this century that is producing
summer temperatures that result in fully thawing soils with enhanced drainage
through the glacial till subsoil underlying most Eastern Settlement sites. This
now-complete annual soil thawing and increased through-deposit drainage,
combined with enhanced annual freezing and thawing of organic material
throughout midden deposits, produces a widespread rapid degradation of

conditions of preservation of bones and other ecofacts on many sites
investigated in this decade. These include some that retained exceptional
organic preservation in the mid-20th century (Smiarowski 2009, Edvardsson et.
al 2007). The E172 site is one of only two sampled during the Vatnahverfi
project retaining consistently good organic preservation due to an impermeable
stone substrate (of ca. 50 sites cored for preservation 2007-2011 by the author).
The E172 excavation is thus a key source of economic and environmental data
to the overall project in Vatnahverfi. While the main focus of the work at E172
was on midden excavation, Christian Madsen also mapped visible ruins and
documented evidence of land use in the farm area. We have thus attempted to
use the E172 midden investigations as an anchor to a wider sustained landscape
based investigation in the tradition of the “longitudinal” strategy that has become
a key element in the wider international research agenda of Historical Ecology
and Human Ecodynamics (Crumley ed. 1994, Constanza et al 2007).
E172 Excavation Methods
Excavation methods in 2008-10 as in 2007 followed the standard FSI-NABO field
manual and made use of single context recording and 100% dry and wet sieving
of deposits through 4 mm mesh, and in case of special contexts through 2mm
mesh following NABO standard recovery techniques (see www.nabohome.org
and http://www.instarch.is/). Extensive soil samples from every identified context
were taken following NABO IPY protocols so they are readily compatible to data
from other IPY and NABO excavations throughout the North Atlantic. Plans of
every context were drawn in 1:20 scale and photos were taken with digital 9.1
megapixel Fuji FinePix 6200 and Canon Eos SLR 17megapixel cameras for
working and record shots. Archaeological contexts after cleaning, photographing,
and planning were removed in reverse order to deposition, starting with youngest
and ending with the natural ancient soil surface (pre -settlement). Harris matrix
for each area was constructed to keep track of complicated stratigraphy and is
included in this report.

Site Description
The farm site E172 Tatsip Ataa (GPS: N 60°48'26,0244"/ W 045°31'46,0272" ) is
located on the eastern shore of Igaliku Fjord, and is considered to be a typical
inner fjord farm without a church or other evidence of high status or economic
specialization. In the Vatnahverfi Project survey (based on 21 ruins surveyed
Madsen 2010, and Madsen 2005). The site rests on a gentle and fairly damp
slope, has a substantial home field area and decent productivity of the
vegetation. The site has a good landing and a somewhat protected harbor, and a
stream where boats could be overwintered.
The closest early parish churches are located at E78 Timerliit and E64
Innoquassaq, and the site may have belonged to any of them in early stages.
After abandonment of E64 and E78 ca. 1200-1300, the site probably belonged to

a later established parish E66 (if E172 was functional post 1300AD). In the often
quoted mid-14th c. account of Ivar Bardarsson (Gad 1970) the whole region was
listed as part of the possessions of the episcopal church at Gardar/Igaliku.
At the beginning of 20th century Tatsip Ataa was re-settled as a modern sheep
farm. It was occupied until 1960’s, and probably abandoned after the
catastrophic winters that killed most of the sheep in SW Greenland. Some
remnants of the old farm buildings are visible as concrete foundations, but most
of the buildings (apart from the owner’s house, now is a summer house) are
gone.
Fig. 4 View of the modern sheep stable from 1971 (Danish National Museum Collection). When the current owners obtained the summer house, several of the farm buildings were still standing. They however were in bad shape, and apparently overrun with mice. The owners demolished and burnt them. This barn has only foundations left-feature M on the plan. Note Norse ruin no. 3 in the foreground. Looking SW.

Excavation 2009 – Area B
The excavation started by emptying the 2007 trench to the undisturbed surface –
partially excavated context [12]. AMS C14 dates obtained from herbivore bones
from the excavation in 2007 (see phasing discussion), suggest that part of the
midden was in use during most of the known Norse occupation of the Eastern
Settlement, from around ca. 1000AD to ca. 1300AD. The 2009 extension of the
trench towards the dwelling ruin no. 4 was intended to increase access to the
earlier and deeper layers.
The trench was then extended 3 meters to the East, and 2 meters to the South,
to an excavation area of 5x5m (25 m2 including the 2007 trench). This provided a
substantial open area excavation that allowed for both horizontal and vertical
observation of stratigraphy. This decision to extend the 2007 trench was made
due to several reasons. The area was known to have the best preserved midden
deposits on site, was deeply stratified and contained the later phase deposits,
Fig. 5 E172 during excavation in 2010. Note the location, and approximate distance to ruin no. 4 (the dwelling) and placement of midden in front of the house. Looking SE.

based on the observations from 2007 field season (Smiarowski 2008, et. al.
2008). Since the stratigraphic profiles from 2007 were already radiocarbon dated,
we were able to connect the stratigraphy of the two seasons into one sequence,
and provided a guide to excavators in the field. While two smaller test units were
eventually dug to the south and east (Units D & E), this large open area unit
(Area A, B, C) remained the main focus of excavations in 2009-10.
For clarity, and to separate finds and sample designations, the excavation area
from 2007 was designated as Area A. The 2009 excavation area was called Area
B, and 2010 area was Area C. Additionally 2 test trenches from 2010 were called
Area D and Area E.
Since the excavation area was substantially larger than in 2007 more
observations and interpretations were possible when we were better able to
connect horizontal exposures with vertical profiles. A total of 52 separate
stratigraphic units (layers or features) were recorded (contexts [018]-[069]). All
context numbers are coded with square brackets […] throughout this report. The
recorded contexts included midden deposits consisting of outdoor trash dumps,
house cleaning dumps, re-deposited floor layers, structural repair turf dumps and
slides, and two pits (contexts [056] and [060]) with their respective fills.
After de-turfing and removing modern grass roots it became apparent that the
area had not been disturbed by the modern farm, abandoned ca. 1967-68 after
the "sheep catastrophe winter" (Smiarowski 2008, Madsen 20010). The
uppermost deposits [19] and [20] were interpreted as structural collapse material
from Ruin 4. The layers consisted of remnants of turf walls and large boulders
that once were part of the wall of the house, but now slid and rolled downhill after
the dwelling collapsed. No modern artifacts were found in these contexts, and
only few Norse finds were recorded from these deposits, which appear to reflect
natural gradual collapse of the structures following abandonment rather than
modern leveling efforts.
10
Further excavation revealed multiple midden deposits that were generally dark
gray in color. The uppermost 30 – 40 cm of the midden was heavily cryoturbated,
with frost action visible in both plan and profile. Frost polygons were visible
throughout these layers, which added to the difficulty of separating contexts.
These contexts were generally less well preserved (due to frost action) than the
underlying ones, which were moister. Figure 6below shows an example with frost
polygons in [21].
While the stratigraphy had been disturbed and excavation of these uppermost
layers was more challenging that the less altered deposits below, the open area
strategy allowed recognition of frost action areas and we are confident that
overall stratigraphic separation in this area was observed and followed. There is
however a real possibility that some of the artifacts and ecofacts from these
upper layers [23]-[34] have been displaced by frost action.

11
After removing the gray cryoturbated layers the midden became much more well
preserved and organic composition of the layers increased. Wood became
common component of each underlying context, bones were much more solid
and abundant and twigs and even birch and willow bark (difference was visible
by eye) were present. Most of those layers were interpreted as floor layers re-
deposited in the midden after major house maintenance/clean up. This may even
have been an annual event, as there were many such dumps that were
separated. Taking under consideration that the excavation area was only a
fraction of the whole midden, and that the upper layers may have also contained
floor residues but were not preserved, it is a plausible theory. Some of these
layers were so rich in wood that dry sieving became impossible, and wet sieving
had to be used. Wood from these layers was 100% sampled.
In the southern part of the
trench, closest to the dwelling
(ruin 4) a pit dug at some point
during the Norse occupation
was recorded. The pit was dug
into some of the earliest
deposits on site, and only
about estimated 1/2 of it was
present in the 2009 trench (Fig.
7). The remaining portion of the
cut [56] ran into the south
profile, and was excavated in
2010. The fill of the pit
comprised of layers of turf,
most likely structure
maintenance, mixed with

midden material that was very similar to the re-deposited floors. The cut [56] was
dug all the way to the pre-landnam surface [17] and cut through it to the
underlying bedrock.
Another pit was observed in Northern part of the trench. This cut [60] also was
only partially exposed in 2009 trench, and ran into the N profile. The fill [58] was
a mix of a fireplace cleaning deposits, rich in peat ash, charcoal and burnt bones
(Fig. 8). This pit too was dug all the way into the natural subsoil, and the
underlying bedrock.
The last major deposit on site was [69] which corresponded to context [16] in
2007 (Area A). This was a very wet, almost waterlogged deposit of floor material,
mixed with large amount of fire cracked cobbles mixed with peat ash. The color
on the surface was black mottled with large patches of yellow/brown peat ash. It
was not excavated in 2009 as we ran out of time (Fig. 9).

At the end of the season the soil from spoil heaps was put back in the trench and
the site was closed for the winter. All soil and wood samples as well as artifacts
were shipped to Copenhagen. The animal bones were shipped to New York for
analysis.

Excavation 2010
The excavation in 2010 started by emptying the 2009 trench (Area B) to reveal
context [69] and excavate it. While opening the trench at the beginning of June it
soon became apparent that the lowermost layers on this site were still frozen at
this time of the year. The back fill from 2009 excavation was wet throughout, but
the bottom 20-30 cm closest to [69] were frozen. The tarp that was separating
the fill and undisturbed archaeology was used to gently pull the lowest 5 cm of fill
(once it thawed) from the archaeology. Context [69] was excavated in one day,
but because it was wet and wood rich, wet sieving had to be employed again.
While excavation of [69] progressed the rest of the team extended the excavation
area 1m to the South, 1m to the West in SW corner or are B and 2m to the North
in NW cornet, to include earlier deposits close to Ruin 4, deep midden layers to
the West, and promising early deposits in the North. A total of 20 m2 was opened
adjacent to Area B from 2009, and called Area C.
Fig. 10 Deposit [71] exposed in the newly extended Area C. Looking East.
17
As in Area B the uppermost layers were comprised of the structural collapse of
turf mixed with large stones and boulders. In this area no modern disturbance
was observed either. The excavation progressed in a similar fashion to the
excavation in 2009. There were 3 profiles visible, and the experience from Area
B demonstrated that the uppermost gray layers are cryoturbated, and possibly
somewhat mixed. Contexts [71] and [72] were the equivalents of [19] and [20]
and were very thick. Under those initial poorly preserved layers, the richer, more
organic midden dumps appeared. As in area B they were re-deposited floors full
of twigs, wood shavings, and bones. Several textile fragments and a few baleen
pieces were recovered too.
After removing [82] in southern part of the trench, the fill of [56] was exposed. It
was simpler excavating it this time, however far from easy. The fill of the cut had
different consistency than surrounding older layers cut but the feature, it was
more porous. The fill consisted of mix of floors cleaning debris, displaced
structural turf, and other midden material. Therefore, the water melt going
through it from the upper, frosty layers deposited high amounts of oxidized iron
from above, making layering of the pit a nightmare to distinguish.
Nonetheless, it was excavated all the way to the bottom, which as in the case of
Area B was cut down to the natural bedrock. The 1m extension to the South was
not enough to empty the pit completely, and a small part of it still ran into the
south section (Fig. 11).
18
Another result of excavation of Area C was that it revealed the ancient
topography of pre-landnam surface. The reason for the good organic
preservation and for the near-waterlogged conditions is the almost bowl shaped
curvature of the bedrock. In 2009 in the NE corner we encountered bedrock
sloping SW, towards middle of the excavation area. In 2010 we observed similar
feature in SW, sloping NE. The E side of the trench was gently sloping W, and
only the W part was not sloping “inwards”, but was rather flat. This however must
have been enough to keep the water and moisture in the area, which prevented
rapid drainage and promoted soil freezing that aided organic preservation in the
E172 midden area.
Fig. 11 Cut [56] in Area C. Partially excavated. Note that a small portion is still running into the S profile. Looking South.
19
While the excavation of Area C was in progress, two small trenches were dug
following a coring program aimed at establishing the extent of the midden, and
assessing its preservation away from the excavated areas. Area D, a 2x2 meter
trench was dug 10 meters West of Area C, at the edge of the midden found while
coring. Several layers were recorded in this trench at the depth of ca 50 cm. The
preservation in these units turned out to be poor, closely resembling other Norse
middens in Vatnahverfi (Smiarowski 2009). That part of the midden was no
longer located on bedrock, but rather on a glacial moraine composed of gravel,
sand and stones. The water drainage is much greater there, leaching out organic
materials. The few bones found were poorly preserved "butter bone", and there
was no trace of wood at all. Only steatite, flint, and metal artifacts were recovered
from that area.

20
Area E, a 1x1 meter test trench was placed in a wet peat bog South (behind) of
the main dwelling (Ruin 4). Coring the bog turned up organic peat and some
wood in the section, but it was inconclusive. A small trench was dug to confirm
presence or absence of midden in that area, and aimed at retrieving a bulk
sample for paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The peat bog turned out to be ca.
2m deep, with several natural peat formations interspersed with periodic midden
dumps. There were several bones present there, including a partially articulated
spine and head of a seal. This test confirmed midden presence with good organic
preservation, and produced a deep bulk sample that was sent to Durham
University for analysis.

21
In total, at the end of 2010 season there were 212 contexts registered. In 2010
alone 143 were registered [70] – [217] (no. 175-180 are not deposits or cuts), 52
in 2009 [18]-[69] and 17 in 2007 [01]-[17].
At the end of the excavation the profiles were drawn and dirt DNA samples taken
from the S profile. The spoil from the excavations along with all the stones were
put back and the site was closed and re-turfed.

Artifacts Recovered
The total number of artifacts recorded during the 2007, 2009 and 2010 seasons
is 5043. The number is likely to rise as most bones have not been analyzed yet,
and it is common to find some small finds mixed in the bags, such as worked
bone fragments and/or some steatite. The material types present in the
assemblage are iron, copper alloy, lead, glass, flint and chert, steatite,
sandstone, schist, whale bone, caribou antler, domestic animal bones, walrus
ivory, walrus post canines, textiles, wood, leather, baleen. The author has
registered all the artifacts, catalogued and photographed them at the Danish
Middle Ages and Renaissance Department of the Danish National Museum in
Copenhagen during the winter of 2010-11. The artifact list is attached in
appendix E. Artifact specialists have not closely studied these finds yet, so
observations here are only preliminary and a special report/publication will be
made at a later time on the full range of artifact finds from E172.
Worked Wood
Due to the favorable conditions of preservation wood artifacts, partially finished
pieces, and wood working waste were the most common find types on site.
Object types included, tally sticks, spindles, wood rivets, wood nails, suckling
sticks (kevels), utensil handles and other household items. Many unknown
objects are present too, but by far the largest category are wood shavings and
29
the by-products of onsite wood working. The E172 finds raise many questions
about the availability and source of non-local wood for Greenlandic craft workers,
and their quantity suggests no lack of material at least in the early centuries of
the settlement. Species identification of at least a sample of these specimens will
be of great interest in determining potential imports from Europe or Markland vs.
likely driftwood.
Steatite The second largest group of finds from the assemblage consists of finds made
from steatite (soapstone). This is typical for most Norse Greenlandic sites, as this
raw material is found throughout Greenland, therefore is easily accessible.
It seems that most of the steatite fragments are pieces of vessels, with holes
drilled in them for patching or to be used as loom weights. Many had remnants
of burning, and many were identified to be rim shards. Several steatite spindle
whorls were found few of which were decorated with an incised lines.
Other Stone Many objects made of stone other than steatite were found. Many of them were
made of Igaliku Sandstone, others of other types of sandstone. It is suspected
most of them were actually used as sharpening stones, as at least one surface
was polished.
Several definite whetstones made of schist (common in Iceland and the rest of
the Viking-Medieval North Atlantic but probably not local to Greenland), were
found; usually associated with earlier layers such as [12] and [69]. Other
whetstones associated with later medieval layers were made of Igaliku
Sandstone, and this patterning may repay more detailed investigation. Flint and
chert fragments were also abundant and found throughout the stratigraphic
sequence, most likely used as strike a lights.
30
Metal Several iron nails and rivets were present throughout the sequence. Less
common, but present were items of copper alloy. One fragment of lead chain was
recovered and one Viking age lead scale weight.
Glass
One bead (x1216) from [116] was excavated. It is made of blue glass and is one
of a handful ever found in Norse Greenland (Jette Arneborg, personal
communication)..

Walrus Ivory and Post Canines
Gaming pieces and dice made of walrus post canines were recorded. Several of
them were unfinished. One unfinished item, most likely a sword scabbard chape
made of walrus ivory was found. A highly decorative plaque, which perhaps was
a part of a small box, was found in context [72].

Animal Symbolism/Iconography
At least two objects depicting animals important for Norse settlers were found
during the excavations. In 2007 a small tool handle made of walrus post canine
(or ivory) was found. The handle was found in [12] radiocarbon dated to ca.
1000AD. The item had engraving of walrus and a Viking age stepped design on

it. The walrus from the artifact bears similarities to a Vatican artist’s depiction of a
walrus reproduced in Conrad Gesspner’s Historia Animalium (Gesner 2004).
The other object is a beautifully carved ram head bone pin from [216] (x1487).
Both these animals were important for the Norse, for subsistence and trade, so
it’s not surprising that they were depicted in their art as well.

Environmental Samples Collected
Zoological samples have been sent to the CUNY Zooarchaeology Laboratories in
New York and are now under analysis by Smiarowski as a doctoral project.
Macrofloral preserved wood samples and soil samples collected for
paleobotanical analysis were sent to be analyzed at Durham University by teams
led by Dr. Mike Church. Norse colonists in Iceland and Faroe Islands are known
to have managed woodland and its fitting to try to understand these processes in
Greenland (Church et al 2010, Dugmore et al. 2008 Vickers et al. 2011)
Understanding the conditions around the site, and use of local wood and plants
at the site is one of the aims of the project. Soil samples for archeoentomology
were taken and are being analyzed at Laval University Quebec by teams led by
Dr. Allison Bain. Dirt DNA soils samples from selected contexts were also
collected to supplement the animal pen project (Paulsen et. al. 2009).

These AMS C14 dates indicate a depositional range from the first settlement in
late 10th century and the late 13th century, but do not indicate an extension of
occupation into the 14th-15th centuries as in other Eastern Settlement sites.
While the paired AMS age determinations do track well and there is general
agreement of C14 and stratigraphy, many C14 age determinations fall upon
broad calibration plateaus, and there are at least three dates which are too old
for their stratigraphic position. Residuality may be due to some older bone
fragments from interior floor cleaning events being deposited in the midden along
with more recent material, or that cryoturbation events have brought some
material upwards. Overall stratigraphy seems intact except for the very
uppermost cryoturbation zone, and we suspect that floor cleaning or house
reconstruction and repair is the most likely source of "delayed deposition" on the
midden surface. Datable objects strongly suggest a stylistic Late Viking Age date
for the ivory carvings from the lowest layers, and the only double sided
(conventionally post-1200 AD) comb fragment comes from one of the upper
layers- all other composite comb fragments recovered are single sided. There is
thus a general agreement between stratigraphy, AMS C14 chronology, and the
datable finds and it seems reasonable (while accepting that some individual finds
may be out of sequence) to break the midden deposits into three broad phases
for analytical purposes.
Phase I – ca. 1000-1100AD (yellow in matrix)
Phase II – ca. 1100-1200AD (gray in matrix)
Phase III – ca. 1200-1300AD (green in matrix)
It would thus appear that our samples come from the first 300 years of the
Greenland settlement and may reflect declining fortunes of a comparatively
prosperous early settlement age farm that may have been abandoned well
before the final end of the Eastern Settlement. Further analysis may allow
refinement of this broad chronology but it will serve as a working tool for initial
sorting and comparative work.
