ISAn archaeological excavation has been conducted at Laugavegar 1, one of the oldest houses in Reykjavík. The house, originally built in 1848 by Gustav Ahrenz, was recently demolished and is being rebuilt in its original form. Archaeologist Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir discovered remnants of 19th-century household items, including furniture, dishes, and glasses, which were used by the family that lived there until 1903.
