DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM LURK LANE, BEVERLEY, 1979-81.
Author(s): C Groves, J Hillam
Tree-ring analysis was carried out on 34 samples from oak timbers excavated at Lurk Lane during 1979-81. Samples associated with a large earth-fast post struct- ure indicate that it was probably constructed in the latter half of the 11th century. This building was theneither repaired or a second similar structure erected during the mid/late 12th century. The timbers from the padstone-base building, which replaced the earth-fast post structure(s), were probably felled after AD 1236 and before AD 1280. Two site chronologies covering the periods AD 885-1124 and AD 1137-1236 were also produced.
