Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Overall, the 25 radiocarbon dates from the Iron Age phases at Howe produce a sequence that is consistent with the site stratigraphy that extends over at least 1,200 years from 500 cal AD to cal AD 700. However, none of the key constructional events are precisely dated due to a lack of both suitable contexts and samples. The interpreted chronology for the Iron Age phases may be summarised as follows: phase 3 of unknown duration, possibly includes 6th and 5th centuries cal BC; phase 4, 5th and 6th centuries cal BC; phase 5 probably 4th and 3rd centuries cal BC; phase 6 at least the 2nd and 1st centuries cal BC; phase 7, 1st to 4th centuries cal AD; phase 8, 4th to 7th centuries cal AD and possibly as late as the 9th century cal AD. | ||
