Questions! Answers!
It has been brought to my attention that I've been completely remiss in my promise to post here about archaeology and Iceland. Yeah, yeah, mea culpa. There are a few reasons for this which can be summarized as (a) busy and (b) inertia and (c) some things that have been troubling me wrt one's right to privacy and oversharing on the internet - but mostly (d) increasing awareness of my own intellectual inadequacy (which I hear is something that happens when you learn more, go figure).
But I have an MA in archaeology now (have had since June, didn't post, oops?), which means I Know Things And Have The Documentation To Prove It.
Far too much has happened, and has led to what is happening, for me to summarize here. Also, I am hungry, and have been too distracted to eat most of the afternoon (because I have just finished a really outstanding novel called Eifelheim by Michael Flynn).
So if there's something you want to know and/or talk about, why don't you ask it here? I will possibly expound in comments.

This is all so good to hear! I am really glad that this path has turned out so well for you, and offers so many opportunities! I will definitely look through some of the work you linked and tell you what I think, although I doubt my comments will be very profound! I think it's very cool that you get to pursue what is (relatively speaking) local history as well as more distant places and eras; that is the kind of thing that gets my excitement up, for some reason -- the cross-pollination of eras and histories, even just in the historical imagination.
I hope you will post about your various adventures this year! But if not, it is just good to see that things are going well and you're doing work that interests you so much. So yay!
P.S. re: posting under OpenID -- when did captchas get so hard??? geez!
