This article combines new marine fish faunal data from medieval and early modern Icelandic archaeological sites with previously published data that focused primarily on the Settlement and Commonwealth periods. This synthesis places these new data into the larger scale of Icelandic history and marine conditions (sea-surface temperature and sea ice) to identify patterns and trends across the last 1000 years of the relationship between humans and Icelandic cod populations. We find no direct correlation between zooarchaeological patterns and sea ice or storminess in the medieval period and a possible correlation in the early modern period. We argue that this suggests a nuanced relationship between changing climates and fishing patterns in Icelandic history. While changes in sea temperature and periods of increased storminess might have made fishing productivity more variable and at times more dangerous, it is only in the early modern period that we see change in the marine zooarchaeological record that might indicate a correlation. Instead, we contend that the impacts of the changing climate relative to marine resources were mediated by social, political, economic, and even technological variables.

本文将来自中世纪和早期现代冰岛考古遗址的新海洋鱼类动物群数据与先前发布的主要关注定居点和英联邦时期的数据相结合。这种综合将这些新数据放入更大规模的冰岛历史和海洋条件（海面温度和海冰）中，以确定过去 1000 年人类与冰岛鳕鱼种群之间关系的模式和趋势。我们发现动物考古模式与中世纪时期的海冰或风暴之间没有直接关联，而在现代早期可能存在关联。我们认为，这表明冰岛历史上不断变化的气候和捕鱼模式之间存在微妙的关系。虽然海水温度的变化和风暴增加的时期可能使捕捞生产力更加多变，有时甚至更加危险，但只有在现代早期，我们才看到海洋动物考古记录的变化可能表明存在相关性。相反，我们认为气候变化对海洋资源的影响是由社会、政治、经济甚至技术变量调节的。
