C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-4034

A charred naked barley grain (Sample 10) from a primary fill 11/6 of post pit 11. This appears to be primary fill below the earth packing the post A similar burnt deposit occurred in the base of several post-pits and may be derived from site clearance before structure built, or may be a more deliberate inclusion. Sample 8 (SUERC-4033) is from a similar context to Sample 10, and Sample 6 (SUERC-4032) is from the top of same post-pit. The three dates are indistinguishable.
