ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING: HUNTS FARM, UPMINSTER, LONDON
Author(s): Paul Linford
A fired clay surface, thought to have been the floor of a Roman pottery kiln, was discovered during archaeological excavation at Hunts Farm near Upminster. Archaeomagnetic dating suggests that the feature was last fired during the 4th century AD and, whilst the precision of the mean direction of magnetisation was excellent, the precision of the date range derived was not as high as can be achieved for other periods.
