is also suggested that a topographic survey, i.e. of the landscape features such as fences,<br />
buildings, car park areas is carried out using either, or both, the GPS and (or) the Total<br />
Station, so as to create a base map for the excavation and to orthorectify aerial<br />
photographs from different periods to understand the changes that have occurred at<br />
Skálholt.<br />
The results of the survey identified the significance and use of contour survey in relation<br />
to excavation. In several ways the results can be used to:<br />
1. provide a context for excavation results to sit within its wider environs;<br />
2. graphically support excavation results through 3D models and placement of CAD<br />
drawings;<br />
3. identify areas for future, more detailed targeted survey<br />
4. identify locations for potential excavation based on the survival of upstanding<br />
earthworks, both obvious to eye and those more subtle.<br />

Fyrri rannsóknir<br />
Í skýrslunni er greint frá niðurstöðum gjóskulagaathugana sumarið <strong>2002</strong>, gerðar í<br />
tengslum við fornleifarannsóknir í Skálholti. Farnar voru tvær dagsferðir að Skálholti,<br />
dagana 7. júní og 13. júlí. Fyrri daginn var athyglinni einkum beint að uppgraftarsvæðinu<br />
og umhverfi þess en seinni daginn voru gjóskulög könnuð í nágrenni Skálholtsstaðar.<br />
Við greiningu gjóskulaganna var stuðst við fyrri rannsóknir í Skálholti og nágrenni.<br />
Gjóskulög voru könnuð í tengslum við fornleifarannsóknir í Skálholti á árunum 1954-<br />
1958 (Kristján Eldjárn o.fl. 1988). Fram kemur að Sigurður Þórarinsson hafi gert nokkra<br />
