TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE BROOKS, WINCHESTER, HAMPSHIRE
Author(s): J Hillam
A total of 137 wood samples from 14 features of Roman, Saxon and medieval date were submitted for analysis. Of the 89 samples selected for dating purposes, 61 were dated. The results produced a series of felling date ranges for the Saxon and medieval features, which were mostly timber lined pits. Details of the tree-ring dating are described, and a 686-year Winchester tree-ring chronology for the period AD 443-1128 is also presented as well as some information about the timbers. The latter includes the identification of a relatively rare piece of walnut timber, possibly imported from the Continent.
