C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - GrA-27037
GrA-27037
Alkaline fraction of cattle skin from the scabbard of a dagger of Gerloff's Butterwick type found in a log coffin containing an inhumation. An anomalously late date (AA-29064 3385+/-45) led to two redatings (see also GrA-27039 3565+/-40). The average of the latter two dates calibrated to 2020-1890 cal BC (Sheridan 2004, 176).
