ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING: NORWICH CASTLE MALL, NORFOLK
Author(s): Neil Linford
The clay lining of a pottery kiln from an excavation at the Castle Mall site in Norwich was sampled for archaeomagnetic dating. It was thought to be of Late Saxon (11th century) date. Unfortunately, it was not possible to produce a date for the feature due to the poor statistical correlation of the measured directions of remanent magnetisation. Conditions at the site suggested post-depositional disturbance as the most likely explanation for this failure.
