PRELIMINARY ARCHAEOMAGNETIC STUDY OF GRAVEL FROM CASTLE MALL, NORWICH.
Author(s): M Noel
A preliminary archaeomagnetic study was caried out on an oriented block of gravel from the Castle Mall excavations, Norwich (County code no. 777N; Feature no. 1170; Context no. 91099). The material was consolidated with PVA and six subsamples of the coarse sand grade fraction obtained by the button method. The remanence was found to be very weak and the directions were highly scattered, suggesting that the material had either not acquired a thermoremanent magnetisation in antiquity or had been subsequently disturbed.
