C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - GrA-34776
GrA-34776
Cremated bone fragment from an adult human of indeterminate sex 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-32127 3625+/-35 for cremated bone from the same individual (Sheridan 2006, 205) but is significantly later than an initial age (GrA-29962 3985+/-40) which should now be discarded.
