Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken of 29 samples from what an archaeological building survey has shown to be three separate phases of Stonelowe Hall. The results demonstrate that all the timbers used in phase 2 of the building (the Hall range) are likely to have been felled in 1569, whilst all the timbers used in phase 3, (the cross passage), are likely to have been felled a few years later in 1577. None of the 12 timbers of phase 1 which were sampled have been dated, and the date of this part of the building thus cannot be proven by tree-ring dating. From the material analysed a single site chronology was created, STLASQ01, this comprising 14 of the 17 samples obtained from phases 2 and 3. This site chronology has an overall length of 138 rings, these dated as spanning the years 1440 - 1577. |
