ARCHAEOMAGNETIC ANALYSIS OF 5 CONTEXTS IN 2 HEARTHS FROM WINDSOR CASTLE ROUND TOWER, BERKSHIRE
Author(s): M Noel
An archaeomagnetic study has been carried out of five contexts in two hearths excavated at Windsor Castle Round Tower. Only two contexts were found to contain thermoremanent magnetisations related to the ancient geomagnetic field. Comparison of the mean archaeomagnetic vector in contexts 2022 and 2024 provides tentative confirmation that the pitched tile hearth was last in use during the medieval period.
