Wealden Glass Project, Archaeomagnetic Dating Report, April 2014

Author(s): Paul Linford

Fired clay remains from two sites associated with the medieval and post-medieval glassmaking industry in the Sussex and Surrey Weald were sampled for archaeomagnetic analysis. At Glasshouse Lane a fired clay surface associated with the glassmaking remains produced an archaeomagnetic date of AD 1555 – 1650 at 95% confidence, while at Imbhams Farm it was possible to sample the clay lining of the furnace itself yielding a date of AD 1515 – 1565 at 95% confidence. A summary of key information for archaeomagnetic database compilers can be found on page 10.
