Bexhill to Hastings Link Road, East Sussex: Tree-ring analysis of waterlogged timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers, Peter Marshall
Examination of 18 waterlogged wood samples from the Bexhill to Hastings Link Road showed that nine of them were of oak, five appeared to be of conifer type, with the remaining four being of some other, as yet unidentified, wood type. The latter four samples were rejected prior to measurement. No similarities were identified between the nine measured individual ring series from the oak samples or the five conifer samples. The ringwidth series of all 14 measured samples were then compared individually with the full corpus of relevant reference material for each wood type. There was again no secure cross-matching and all 14 measured samples must remain undated.
