ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING: LITTLE BIRCHES, WOLSELEY STAFFORDSHIRE

Author(s): Paul Linford

The remains of two furnaces, associated with a glassmaking process, at Little Birches near Wolseley in Staffordshire were sampled for archaeomagnetic dating. Whilst disturbance to one of the features since its last firing made archaeomagnetic dating impossible, the other produced a late medieval date of good precision despite reaching only low temperatures during its operation.
