No problem. I just noticed that I misspelled Snorri's name.
My big complaint with the "experts" is there were numerous voyages with hundreds of people over hundreds of years and they're claiming that a single family just had to have lived in a specific house. Sure.

I think it's just an example of the whole "Washington slept here" syndrome where people are always eager to assign historical signifigance to any given noun.
I've found in my travels in Iceland that, for the architectural reasons cited in the article, you really have to squint to see what's being references at various ancient sites throughout the country. One exception is a really cool dig that's in progress right in downtown Reykjavik where they've discovered a Viking compound (under about 2 meters of earth).
