BILLINGSGATE LORRY PARK, CITY OF LONDON, 1982. TREE-RING ANALYSIS THE PERIOD V TIMBERS.
Author(s): J Hillam
The analysis and dating of the Periods II and III (Roman) and the 10th-11th century Period IV timbers havealready been described (Hillam 1986, 1987). This report gives the results for the study of the 202 oak timbers from Period V, thus continuing the chronologicalhistory of the development of the medieval Thames waterfront at Billingsgate. Many of the dates proved tobe earlier than expected, resulting in a revision of thesite phasing and the provision of a precise date for theconstruction of a Period IV structure. The application of a new computer program for tree-ring research is also described.
