Figure 7. <strong>Glaumbær</strong> turf walls, construction type and tephra inclusions.<br />
Site Closing<br />
The site was closed on 14 August 2005. Textile was placed over the walls in the northern<br />
half of the building and the southern half was covered entirely. Backdirt was laid over the<br />
whole site and then the turf was replaced. Excav<strong>at</strong>ion markers were left in place. Survey<br />
pins set on 5 x 5 meter grid were replaced with orange flags with coordin<strong>at</strong>es on <strong>at</strong>tached<br />
pink flags. Red flags were used to mark prior excav<strong>at</strong>ion trenches, yellow flags to mark<br />
the outside contact of walls, and white (the skáli and southern rooms) and blue (middle<br />
and west room) flags to mark the inside contacts of walls.<br />
