ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING: FLIXBOROUGH HUMBERSIDE, 1991
Author(s): Paul Linford
The floor of a clay oven from a Saxon site near Flixborough in Humberside was sampled for archaeomagnetic dating. Despite the high magnetisation of the feature, the precision of the derived date range was poor. It was concluded that non-rigid collapse of the oven, since it was last fired, was the most probably cause of this problem. Some other potential contributing factors are also considered.
