Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis of samples taken from 15 Flemingate, Beverley, resulted in the construction of two site sequences: BEVGSQ01, a site sequence of 92 rings containing four samples, and BEVGSQ02, a 177-ring site sequence from two samples. Neither of these, nor any of the ungrouped individual series, could be securely dated using tree-ring analysis. Tree-ring analysis did, however, identify that BEVGSQ02 cross-matched with an undated site master chronology, BEVJSQ01, from reused timbers in The Guildhall in Beverley. Two dendrochronological samples, one from BEVJSQ01 and one from BEVGSQ01, were sub-sampled for radiocarbon dating. The combined master sequence, BEVGJSQ01, of 197 rings, was subsequently dated by a combination of dendrochronology and radiocarbon analysis to the period AD 1245-AD 1441DR, with BEVGSQ02 being dated to AD 1255-1431DR. The two dated timbers from 15 Flemingate were felled in AD 1431DR, suggesting construction of the building may have taken place in the second quarter of the fifteenth century. |
