Abstract: |
A programme of dendrochronology was undertaken on timbers at the Ship Inn, Exeter, Devon. Cores from four of the eight sampled oak timbers proved suitable for analysis but the ring-width series obtained did not correlate with each other, nor did they correlate with oak reference chronologies from the British Isles or elsewhere in Europe. Following the failure of the ring-width dendrochronology to provide any calendar dating two samples were submitted for radiocarbon dating. Wiggle-matching of these dates suggests that a ground-floor ceiling joist was probably felled in the mid-fourteenth to mid-fifteenth centuries.
