31 Conclusions Pagan graves have not been found in Greenland. Reburials may indicate the possibility that some individuals in the initial settlement period were buried as pagans. The circular churchyards are from the first settlement period, and the layout of the churchyard determine date rather than the size of the church. Still, all the early churches are small and may have been wooden constructions surrounded by protecting walls. Even though we cannot rule out the possibility of a few having been buried as pagans the church with its church yard was an integral part of the landnam farm and the church was always built close to the dwelling. The close physical connection between church and dwelling continues throughout the whole settlement period even though the status of the church may have changed over time. Churches were closed down and the some farms lost their churches while other farms built new churches indicating changed socio-economic structures. The church building in Norse Greenland tradition follows Scandinavian styles.
