Abstract:		 This report covers the dendrochronological analysis of samples taken from timbers held in store at the Gloucester Museum derived from excavations undertaken at Upper Quay Street, Gloucester in 1989 and 1990. The majority of the timbers relate to a succession of Roman waterfront timber structures. A 471-year, 35-timber mean ring-width series, QST35, was produced and cross-matched providing absolute dating from 377 BC to AD 94 inclusive. The report considers the dating of individual timbers in relation to the structures and stratigraphic phases with which they have been associated. Two samples, from timbers post-dating the Roman phases, were derived from a single parent tree and were combined to produce a 112-year ring-width series. This was cross-matched providing absolute dating from AD 880 to AD 991 inclusive, implying felling of the parent tree after AD 1001.
