TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM EASTGATE STREET, STAFFORD, 1982-84.

Author(s): C Groves

Tree-ring analysis was carried out on 30 timbers from late Saxon and later medieval structures from Eastgate Street, Stafford. No absolute tree-ring dates were obtained for the late Saxon features. The later mediev-al feature 142 was constructed in AD 1255/56 and the timbers from feature 233 were probably felled after AD 1189. Eleven of the samples were poplar and the use of non-oak species and short ring sequences for relative dating is discussed.
