ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING REPORT: BEERWAY FARM, SHAPWICK, SOMERSET
Author(s): Paul Linford, Louise Martin
Two burnt clay surfaces from an excavation at Beerway Farm, Shapwick, Somerset, were sampled for archaeomagnetic dating. There were few artefacts found during excavation to date the site and it was hoped that magnetic dating would provide a timescale for the central features. Unfortunately the technique was of little use in this instance; post-depositional disturbance or low intensity remanent magnetism in the samples recovered are the most likely causes for the poor results.
