TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM THE COPPERGATE HELMET PIT, YORK
Author(s): J Hillam
Eight timber samples from the lining of the pit, and an artifact which may have been deposited at the same time as the helmet, were examined. No relative dating was obtained, but one of the lining timbers was dated; it was felled some time after AD 586. A new non-destructive method of measuring the rings of wooden artifacts was tested with encouraging results.
