Results The survey produced a 3D model of the survey area, and the placement of the excavation area and features into this. The survey showed several areas of earthworks that were identified during the ground truthing. The farm mound, hollow-ways, and a ridge running east to west with discrete features on it (Figures 1 & 2).

Contour Plan of the homefield showing the location of the excavations On the basis of the <strong>2002</strong> GPS contour survey it is proposed that a survey is carried out in the area of the 2003 excavation, before trenching using the 4600LS GPS. A more detailed survey should be carried out over areas of the survey, to be decided on the basis of funding and excavation requirements. It is suggested that the farm mound and the ridge, including the area of hollow-ways immediately south-east of this is conducted in 2003. It 9
is also suggested that a topographic survey, i.e. of the landscape features such as fences, buildings, car park areas is carried out using either, or both, the GPS and (or) the Total Station, so as to create a base map for the excavation and to orthorectify aerial photographs from different periods to understand the changes that have occurred at Skálholt. The results of the survey identified the significance and use of contour survey in relation to excavation. In several ways the results can be used to: 1. provide a context for excavation results to sit within its wider environs; 2. graphically support excavation results through 3D models and placement of CAD drawings; 3. identify areas for future, more detailed targeted survey 4. identify locations for potential excavation based on the survival of upstanding earthworks, both obvious to eye and those more subtle. GJÓSKULAGARANNSÓKN (TEPHRA ANALYSIS) Magnús Á. Sigurgeirsson, Fjallalind 123, IS-201 Kópavogur, netf.: masig@mmedia.is Fyrri rannsóknir Í skýrslunni er greint frá niðurstöðum gjóskulagaathugana sumarið <strong>2002</strong>, gerðar í tengslum við fornleifarannsóknir í Skálholti. Farnar voru tvær dagsferðir að Skálholti, dagana 7. júní og 13. júlí. Fyrri daginn var athyglinni einkum beint að uppgraftarsvæðinu og umhverfi þess en seinni daginn voru gjóskulög könnuð í nágrenni Skálholtsstaðar. Við greiningu gjóskulaganna var stuðst við fyrri rannsóknir í Skálholti og nágrenni. Gjóskulög voru könnuð í tengslum við fornleifarannsóknir í Skálholti á árunum 1954- 1958 (Kristján Eldjárn o.fl. 1988). Fram kemur að Sigurður Þórarinsson hafi gert nokkra 10
