C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - GrA-26158

Cremated human bone (adult, possibly female) from lower of two layers in 'large cist', associated with 3 tiny calcined flint flakes. See original date GrA-24858 (4945+/-40) and redating GrA-28741 (4855+/-45). These three ages form a satisfactory group (agreement 108%) and if there are no technical reasons for not doing so can be combined to suggest a date range at 2 sigma of 3715 to 3640 cal BC.
