C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - GrA-32127

Bone apatite from a piece of cremated bone from a cist in Barrow 1; the cist also contained gold foil discs, a fragment of an old amber spacer plate necklace and amber dress accessories. This age is not distinguishable from GrA-34776 3575+/-35 for cremated bone from the same individual (Sheridan 2007, 220) but is significantly later than an initial age (GrA-29962 3985+/-40) which should now be discarded.
