Abstract
The dating of oak timbers from the Wootton Quarr Survey, Isle of Wight
The tree-ring analysis and dating of 32 wood samples are described. All but two of the samples were from fallen oak trees. A group of 20 timbers crossmatched to produce a 770 year chronology which spans a period 3463-2694~BC. The trees fell at intervals between 3230~BC and 2694/3~BC. A 268 year floating chronology was produced from three other ring sequences. Radiocarbon dating indicates that this undated chronology is slightly older than the 770 year chronology, whilst other undated ring sequences are younger.
