Scottish Radiocarbon Database

OxA-8992

A carbonised organic encrustation on a pot, Find 11 Pot 3, from pit L23 in a timber enclosure. See also OxA-8993 (3845+/-75 BP) and OxA-8994 (3880+/-55 BP) from similar encrustations on similar pots. A previous date from a single piece of birch charcoal from the same pit (AA-22906: 3750+/-50 BP) had been judged surprisingly late.
