ARCHAEOMAGNETIC ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM A KILN AT WOOTON QUARR, ISLE OF WIGHT
Author(s): M Noel
An archaeomagnetic study has been carried out of a kiln excavated at Wooton Quarr on the Isle of Wight. The samples were found to contain a thermoremanent magnetisation providing a high quality record of the ancient geomagnetic field. Comparison of the mean archaeomagnetic vector in the kiln with the UK Master Curve indicates that the feature was last in use at some time during the period 1400-1425 AD.
