TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM SINAI PARK, STAFFORDSHIRE
Author(s): Ian Tyers
Dendrochronological analysis of 28 samples from the building complex at Sinai Park, near Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, has produced dates between the late fifteenth - and the mid seventeenth - centuries for the construction of various phases within the complex. As well as cores from in situ timbers, slices were also taken from some ex situ timbers, it was hoped these timbers would assist with the dating of the in situ assemblage. A number of potentially interesting groups of timbers within the building could not be sampled due to the general dilapidation of the structure. A tree-ring chronology dating from AD 1227 - 1750 inclusive was produced. Further work is recommended if the inaccessible parts of the building are renovated or demolished.
