Newcomen Terrace Foreshore, Redcar, North Yorkshire: Tree-ring Assessment and Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers
Sampling for dendrochronological analysis was attempted on a number of tree-stumps exposed during low tides on the foreshore in front of Newcomen Terrace, Redcar, but, given the decayed nature of the material, samples suitable for dendrochronology could not be obtained. Samples in the form of cross-sectional slices were, however, obtained from five other timbers found here, these believed to be fallen trees or possibly worked timbers. Analysis of these five samples produced a single site chronology comprising two ring-width series and being 64 rings long. Neither this site sequence nor any of the three remaining ungrouped, but short, single ring-width series could be dated.
