Trerithick, Polyphant, Altarnun, Cornwall: Radiocarbon Wiggle-Matching of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold, Cathy Tyers, Peter Marshall, Sanne Palstra, Michael Dee
Independent validation of tentative tree-ring dating for a group of previously undated samples from the west range roof of Trerithick, Altarnun, Cornwall has been obtained by radiocarbon wiggle-matching and it can now be considered as a radiocarbon-supported dendrochronological date, the site chronology spanning AD 1557–1726DR. Dendrochronological and radiocarbon analysis has now demonstrated that the roofs of both the extant hall range and west range are replacements dating to the late seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries respectively.
