Abstract: |
An English Heritage funded research project is currently investigating the viability of dendrochronological analysis of conifer timbers imported into England. A short section of wall of West India Docks was recorded during demolition. The wall, thought to date to c. AD 1800, incorporated conifer timbers which were considered a potentially valuable source of data for the project, particularly as the construction date of the dock is well documented. The timbers proved to be pine but none could be reliably dated and hence provenanced. |
