C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - GrA-28614

Cremated human bone from burial A deposited on or among the collapse of the chamber roof; it may be associated with a cremated decorated bone mount, food vessel, and possibly also another vessel with both food vessel and beaker attributes. This context was previously dated from mixed charcoal by GU-1167 (3435+/-65). The new date is technically more secure, although not significantly different.
