C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-4083

The human left radius (Sample 5/2) of Burial 5, the complete remains of a crouched inhumation sealed below cist capstone on the floor of a burial cist (Cist 1) set within the base of a large pit c. 1m deep. The disarticulated remains of a second burial (4) were present in the same cist. The measurement was a repeat of GU-10818 (3340+/-75 and both broadly confirms the result for SUERC-4072(3615+/-40) and that the original analysis GU-10818 should be ignored.
