ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING: ROXBY, HUMBERSIDE.
Author(s): Paul Linford
A clay surface thought to have been the floor of a kiln was discovered overlying Roman remains at Roxby in Humberside. Archaeomagnetic dating suggests that the feature was last fired towards the end of the 11th century AD, although the date is in some doubt owing to an anomalous scattering of the declination component of remanent magnetisation in the samples. Disturbance since the last firing is suggested as the cause of this scattering.
