  <p>Good database design involves the acquisition and deployment of
     skills which have a wider relevance to the educational process. From
     a set of more or less instinctive rules of thumb a formal discipline
     or "methodology" of database design has evolved. Applying that
     methodology can be of great benefit to a very wide range of academic
     subjects: it requires fundamental skills of abstraction and
     generalisation and it provides a simple mechanism whereby complex
     ideas and information structures can be represented and manipulated,
     even without the use of a computer. </p>

  <p>The recent archaeological emphasis

     This paper reviews the developments
     in Icelandic archaeology, examining
     both theoretical and practical advances.
     Particular attention is paid to new
     ideas in terms of settlement patterns
     and resource exploitation. Finally,
