C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - AA-47742

A charred barley grain (Sample D1/16B) from a fill (Context D120) of a re-cut (D 133) of a large pit in a pit-circle. The re-cut of the pit was infilled with several thin, well-differentiated layers of deposit including quantities of burnt material. The clear differentiation and the lack of mixing between the fills indicated a lack of post-depositional disturbance.
