finds register were all maintained. All retrieved material (a nimal bone, artifacts, etc.) was catalogued in the finds register. CONTRIBUTORS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The project would not be possible without the support and collaboration of a number of people. The Millennium Fund (Kristnihátíðarsjóður) provided the necessary financial support to conduct the work with its generous grant. Thanks must also go to the Bishop of Skálholt, Sigurður Sigurðarson, and the Rector Bernharður Guðmundsson for their tremendous support and help at all stages of the project. Also thanks to the farmer at Skálholt, Guttormur Bjarnason for making the day to day running of the excavation so much easier and smoother and all the staff at the hotel restaurant. Final thanks to Vegagerðin (Selfoss) for providing us with fixed survey points and the basis of our site grid, and to Benedikt Skúlason for the machining of topsoil and removal of rubble backfill from the haybarn during the first week of the project. The management of the research project was undertaken by Gavin Lucas, Mjöll Snæsdóttir and Orri Vésteinsson. The excavation team comprised Andrew Hall, Candy Hathaway, Birna Lárusdóttir, Gavin Lucas (Director), Elín Hreiðarsdóttir, Mjöll Snæsdóttir, Oddgeir Hansson, Orri Vésteinsson, Richard Turnbull, Sigríður Þorgeirsdóttir, Uggi Ævarsson. In addition, Oscar Aldred (FSÍ) produced the topographic survey using a differential GPS, Magnús Sigurgeirsson provided an evaluation of the tephra profile for the area, and Ian Simpson of the University of Sterling conducted an assessment of the homefield for a land-use and environment study. The finds were partially processed on site, but the main bulk of cleaning and cataloguing occurred after and was carried out by Gróa Másdóttir and Sigríður Þorgeirsdóttir. As a part of the project an extensive outreach programme has been initiated and this was managed by Barbara Guðnadóttir. 5
The project is a cooperation between Fornleifastofnun Íslands and Þjóðminjasafn Íslands. On behalf of the museum Þóra Kristjánsdóttir has set up a small exhibition on previous excavations and conservator Jannie Ebsen has taken care of small finds conservation. 6
