Dendrochronological Analysis of Conifer Timbers from the Giltspur Street Compter, City of London (KEW98)
Author(s): C Groves
An English Heritage funded research project is currently investigating the viability of dendrochronological analysis of conifer timbers imported into England. The conifer timber assemblage uncovered during the archaeological excavation at the Giltspur Street Compter was considered suitable for inclusion in the project. These conifer timbers were thought likely to constitute a valuable data resource for the research project, particularly as the construction date of the Compter is well documented. There was also some potential to aid the archaeological understanding of the complex. Unfortunately, although several site master chronologies were produced, none of these, or any of the individual sequences, could be reliably dated.
