Abstract: |
Samples from three timbers associated with an unidentified shipwreck located off St Mary's Road, Isles of Scilly, were provided for analysis. The wreck itself was thought to be post-medieval but pre-nineteenth century AD in date, with artefactual evidence suggesting that the loss of the vessel probably occurred during the latter half of the sixteenth century or first half of the seventeenth century AD. Only two of the samples provided sufficient rings to merit dendrochronological analysis but neither could be conclusively dated. Following the unsuccessful dendrochronological analysis, one of the samples was subsampled and underwent radiocarbon wiggle-matching, which produced a felling date range for the timber in the first half of the sixteenth century AD. |
