TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM THE 1991 EXCAVATIONS AT VINDOLANDA, NORTHUMBERLAND
Author(s): J Hillam
Analysis of 53 tree-ring samples indicated that 32 were suitable for dating purposes. Lack of sapwood and poor condition of the timbers prevented the production of precise felling dates in most cases, but a master chronology for the period 367BC-AD103 was constructed. The timbers were local in origin and had been felled from mature woodland.
