The map shows Breiðavík (BRV) and Kollsvík (KOV) the historical fishing sites were the excavations were conducted.

Summary information of the otoliths used for age and growth analysis.

Otolith thin section from the transverse midplane.
The red dots show age denotation and the black dots an example of five-year increment measures from the core to the outer distal edge of the otolith.
Fig 3.
Raw otolith increment growth data and fitted growth patterns.
The figure depicts five-year otolith increment growth (mean and SE), as well as the fitted quadric growth patterns for each of the seventeen archaeological deposits. Archaeological deposits are represented by mean 14C or estimated mean date AD. The color represents designated historical periods, red = Medieval, blue = Early modern and green = Modern.
