Albína Hulda Pálsdóttir's essay about the Tjarnargata 3c collection which is the largest collection of fish bones recovered and analyzed from an Icelandic excavation. It is also by far the largest and richest urban archaeofauna collected in Iceland. The faunal remains come from a mixed midden layer dated to the 17th to 19th century recovered in a rescue excavation. Around 95% of the bones recovered were from fish, with cod (Gadus morhua) the most numerous species. Element distribution clearly points to intensive dried fish production for the cod but the haddock seems to have been locally consumed. By putting the Tjarnargata 3c archaeofauna
in the larger historical context of export and trade new light is shed on the history of the Reykjavík fishing industry and its connections to the rise of urbanism.

Fyrirlestur sem Hörður Sigurbjarnarson, framkvæmdastjóri Norður-Siglingar ehf hélt á ráðstefnu hjá Vitafélaginu árið 2007. Hörður talar um hugtakið ´strandmenning´ og mikilvægi þess og segir okkur frá uppbyggingu ferðaþjónustu á Húsavík sem þróuð hefur verið og varðveitt í samræmi við staðbundinn menningararf er tengist sjónum og sjósókn.  Með varðveislu og viðhaldi bygginga sem í dag eiga sér ný hlutverk, s.s. veitingahús eða söfn, og báta sem nýttir hafa verið í siglingar og hvalaskoðun hefur fjöldi ferðamanna á Húsavík stóraukist; þekking orðið til og mannauður skapast.
