| Abstract: |
Archaeomagnetic dating of samples from a brick kiln discovered at Dogmersfield Park, Hampshire, has been achieved using both field direction and intensity. Detailed rock-magnetic properties and microwave archaeointensities have already been studied and published elsewhere (Ll Casas, J Shaw, M Gich, J A Share, `High-quality microwave archaeointensity determinations from an early 18th century brick kiln', Geophys J Int 161 (2005) 653--661). The archaeomagnetic measurements were assigned time-probability distributions by comparing with predictions from a global model at the sampling site; this procedure suppresses errors arising from relocation to a common central reference location. All three probability distributions consistently indicate the same age (~AD 1700). Once the probability distributions are combined a narrower probability distribution is obtained, stressing the importance of pursuing combined (directional and intensity) archaeomagnetic analyses. The inferred age is also highly consistent with available historical evidence. |
