C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - OxA-7890

human metatarsus, found in approximately the middle C XXIII of a fissure overlying the shell midden. The late date agrees with its stratigraphic position; the material in the fissure could derive from the burial cist higher up, which has not been dated, but was thought by the excavators to be either Late Neolithic or Bronze Age.
