THE DATING OF OAK TIMBERS FROM WOOTTON CREEK, FISHBOURNE, ISLE OF WIGHT - AN INTERIM REPORT
Author(s): J Hillam
A pilot tree-ring study was carried out on six oak timbers from the eroding beach at Wootton Creek. Radiocarbon analyses were also undertaken to provide an approximate date for four of the timbers. Absolute dating was achieved for two Neolithic timbers, one of which was felled in 2777/6BC. The radiocarbon results indicate that trees dating to approximately 2000BC were also present on the beach.
