TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAKS FROM LANGFORD QUARRY, NEWARK-ON-TRENT, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
Author(s): J Hillam
The analysis of 43 oak timbers from the river gravels near the River Trent resulted in the production of tree-ring chronologies spanning 4232-4021 BC, 2979-2858 BC, and 2637-2125 BC. Some of the trees were from a river jam and were associated with human remains. Tree-ring dates for these trees are compatible with a radiocarbon date for a human rib, and indicate that both trees and bones date to the early 3rd millennium BC.
