Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Tupholme Abbey, founded by c.1166, was constructed of limestone masonry, some of which was reoriented at several times through its history. The limestone progressively acquired a `soft', time-dependent magnetization in the earth's magnetic field -- viscous remanent magnetization (VRM) -- that acts like a clock. Although VRM is normally disregarded by geologists because of its ephemeral nature, this remanence is acquired and persists over time-scales that are useful to archaeologists. Successive VRMs were initiated at different ages of stabilization of the masonry, thus yielding a chronometric curve that allows archaeologists to determine, at least relatively, when masonry was installed. | ||||
