Wreck Site GAD 58, Goodwin and Downs, Kent: Tree-ring Analysis of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Roderick Bale, Nigel Nayling, Cathy Tyers
Four sections of timber from Goodwin and Downs wreck site 58 (Site name: GAD 58; Site code: 1083), located in the English Channel off the Kent coast, were retrieved by Wessex Archaeology with a view to obtaining independent dating evidence through dendrochronology. The timber sections were all oak but only two, from the same timber element, contained sufficient rings to warrant analysis. The resultant combined series could not be conclusively dated despite comparison with an extensive range of British, European, and American reference chronologies.
