C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-4084

A human right femur (Sample 2) from Burial 6 the partial remains of an inhumed burial, in a flexed position on its right hand side, found in the base of an unlined grave pit below sand/gravel/stone fill. The pit was c. 1.7x1.0m in surface extent and c. 1.0m deep. This confirms the result SUERC-4073 (2380+/-35) from the same skeleton and shows that the original analysis GU-10819 (1880+/-45) should be ignored.
