TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF ROMAN TIMBERS FROM VINDOLANDA, NORTHUMBERLAND
Author(s): J Hillam
Tree-ring analysis of thirty-one wood samples from Vindolanda was undertaken to provide an indepedent dating framework for the site. Of the fourteen samples suitable for dating purposes, twelve were dated and produced a 351-year chronology for the period 248BC-AD103. The resulting felling dates were less precise than had been hoped due to absence of sapwood, although at least one of the period IV timbers was felled in AD103/4.
