C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-4041
SUERC-4041
A piece of alder or hazel charcoal (Sample 24) from timber which appeared to form a lining 30/2 of a large pit 30 on the axial line of the building. This was sealed by all the fills of the pit to a c 0.7m depth near the base of the context. Samples 23 to 26 (SUERC-4039 to 4043) are from different timbers in the same context and all appeared to be some form of lining. The use of alder and possibly hazel (sample 24) suggest greenwood - as they appeared to be small diameter branches curved down the side of the pit with no obvious woven elements.
