DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM NEW BAXTERGATE, GRIMSBY, HUMBERSIDE, 1986

Author(s): C Groves

Dendrochronological analysis of 15 oak samples from New Baxtergate, Grimsby, produced two absolutely dated chronologies covering the periods AD1100-1405 and AD1148-1284. The 306 year chronology matches reference curves from the Baltic region, whilst the 137 year sequence dates with chronologies from the British Isles. The analysis indicated that some of the medieval waterfront timbers were from local woodlands but others originated from the Baltic region.
