Ingiríðarstaðir 2013.

Framvinduskýrsla

Fornleifarannsóknir á Ingiríðarstöðum í Þegjandadal, S-Þingeyjarsýslu, var fram haldiðdagana 19. til 30. ágúst 2013. Var það sjötta ár rannsóknanna, en verkefnið er á vegum Hinsþingeyska fornleifafélags og unnið af hópi fornleifafræðinga frá Fornleifastofnun Íslands.Rannsóknin naut stuðnings frá fornminjasjóði.

Howell Magnús Roberts stjórnaði uppgreftinum og aðrir leiðangursmenn voru LouiseFelding, Lísabet Guðmundsdóttir, Gisli Pálsson og Mads Bakken Thostrup. GarðarGuðmundsson tók loftmyndir af uppgraftarsvæðinu og Sigurður Bergsteinsson minjavörðurkom 28. ágúst á vettvang til að fylgjast með framvindu verksins.

Rannsóknin náði til um 70 fermetra svæðis alls, sem skiptist í þrjá reiti, a, b, og c (sjá mynd 5)

Svæði 2013_A. Reitur A þakti 34 m2 og liggur beint norður og vestur af uppgraftarvangi2012. Engar grafir komu í ljós á svæðinu. Hinsvegar fannst ein, og mjög stór stoðarhola, viðsuðurmörk uppgraftarins. Svipar henni til stoðarhola sem fundust bæði árin 2010 og 2011.Holan er stutt norðvestur frá steinhaugnum sem fannst árið 2012, og kann að eiga við þannhaug, þó samhengið þar á milli sé ekki skýrt. Væntanlega hefur e.k. stoð verið reist og látinstanda upp á endann á þessum stað, en engan veginn er ljóst í hvaða tilgangi það hefur veriðgert.

Svæði 2013_B. Reitur B var samsvarandi að stærð, eða 32m2 og lá norðan og vestan viðsvæði A. Á reitnum vottaði fyrir raski, þúfum og holum sem minntu á ummerki um fornargrafir er rannsakaðar höfðu verið fyrri ár.

Við uppgröft komu í ljós tvær grafir með mjóu hafti á milli þeirra og svipar til kumlapara semfundist hafa á hverju ári frá upphafi rannsókna. Ljóst var að báðum gröfunum hafði veriðraskað fyrir margt löngu, rétt eins og allar grafir sem fundist hafa til þessa á Ingiríðarstöðum,og reyndar í allri sýslunni síðustu ár. Gjóskulög eru vel varðveitt í dalnum og sjá mátti aðHeklulag sem talið er að hafi fallið um 1300 lá ekki aðeins yfir gröfunum, heldur og raskinusem þær höfðu orðið fyrir síðar. Grafirnar voru báðar aflangar og ofan í þeim fylling aflausum jarðvegi og stöku steinum. Talsvert var af beinum í báðum gröfum, en í lélegu ástandiog sundurlaus. Í nyrðri gröfinni voru nokkur hestbein sem lágu eðlilega saman, nokkurleggjabein og hestkjálki, en einnig stök mannstönn. Í syðri gröfinni voru einnig fáeinir laglarog járnbrot.

2

Í hornum syðri grafar voru stoðarholur, svipaðar og fundist hafa við nokkrar aðrar grafir áteignum. Líklegt er að stoðirnar hafi borið upp e.k. skýli yfir gröfinni, hugsanlega úr skinnieða taui.

Svæði 2013_C. Grafinn var 3m2 skurður suður af svæði B og vestur af svæði A. Tilefnið varað kanna ójöfnur á yfirboði sem svipaði ögn til staða þar sem grafir hafa leynst undir. Í ljóskom að þar voru engin mannvirki og engin ummerki um mannvist að öðru leyti en því aðlandnámssyrpuna vantaði. Gæti það verið af náttúrlegum ástkæðum, en hugsanlega vegnaniðurgraftar, eða stungið hafi verið torf á þessum bletti.

An Interim Statement

Between August 19th-30th a team of archaeologists from Fornleifastofnun Íslands excavatedfurther areas within the pre-christian burial field at Ingiríðarstaðir in Þegjandadalur on behalfof Hið Þingeyska Fornleifafélag. The project was funded by Fornminjasjóður.

The team was led by Howell Magnus Roberts, with Louise Felding, Lísabet Guðmundsdóttir,Gisli Pálsson and Mads Bakken Thostrup (19th-23rd). The excavation was inspected bySigurður Bergsteinsson on behalf of Minjastofnun Íslands on August 28th. GarðarGuðmundsson visited to take aerial photographs the same day.

Three areas were investigated, totalling circa 70m2 within the larger area outlined in theproject proposal and permit application. All targeted visible surface features.

Area 2013_A. - 34m2 - located directly north and west of the 2012 area. Excavation revealeda substantial post setting at the southern limit of the area, similar to features discovered in2010 and 2011 (see Figure 3). The purpose of such posts remains enigmatic, but couldrepresent a flagpole or similar construction.

Area 2013_B - 32m2 - located north and west of Area A, targeting the northwestern mostsurface anomaly visible prior to excavation (see Figure 5). Excavation revealed a doublegrave, similar to those found previously. Both features had previously been re-opened on atleast 2 occasions prior to 1300, as indicated by intact H-1300 tephra horizons sealing both theoriginal graves and later truncations. Removal of mixed silty fills containing frequent fistsized stones exposed a significant quantity of bone in both features. This bone wasnonetheless seen to be in a poor to moderate condition and largely disarticulated. Thenorthern grave (cut feature [714], fill 708) contained a few articulated elements of horse legs,along with other bone and horse teeth. The southern grave (cut feature [713], fill 709)contained disarticulated horse bone (including a mandible), several other undetermined longbones and also a single human tooth. (see Appendix 3) The southern grave also contained 19artefacts, being corroded iron nails and other undetermined iron objects (see Figure 6 andAppendix 2).

3

The corners of the southern grave [713] adjoined/contained post holes ([716], [717], [718] and[719]), of variable form and dimensions as noted previously at Ingiríðarstaðir (see Figure 6).These are interpreted as supports for a lightweight and temporary cover for the southerngrave, perhaps an animal skin or a cloth.

Area 2013_C - 3m2. Located south of Area B and west of Area A. This exploratory trenchtargeted a previously unobserved surface anomaly. No archaeological features or layers werediscovered, although it is noted that the LNS tephra sequence was absent in this area, possiblydue to truncation.

Mynd 1. Loftmynd af uppgraftarsvæði A og B – norður er til hægri. Svæði B er í efra hægra horni, og var 8 x 4m. Búið var að moka ofan í svæði A þegar myndin var tekin, en sést vel því grænar þökurnar skera sig úr

umhverfinu.
