Carbon Date. 100. Late Iron Age

Report: Charcoal, AML 785541, in smithy area 4.8m from furnace, 0.62m below cultivation surface at Warbleton Parish, Turners Green, Heathfield, East Sussex, England. Comment (WRB): dates from this site are consistent with dates for two other sites with similar unusual design of bloomery furnace (Levisham, E Yorks and Engsbach, W Germany). Dates confirm smithy area contemporary with furnace.

England. Subm M Bell & D Haddon-Reece 1986. Comment (subm): most of dates from lower part of shaft (OxA-1214 to -1217 and -1229) are in good general agreement with other Deverel-Rimbury dates from S England. It is possible to show that these dates form a group with a mean and standard deviation of c 3150 30 BP

suggesting that lower part of shaft was infilled quite quickly. Comment (lab): However

this date's older age could just possibly derive from on-site conservation.""

Report: Wood from dugout canoe with fitted ribs, now in Yorkshire Museum, found 1838 at Stanley Ferry, River Calder, Wakefield, Yorkshire West, England. Subm S McGrail 1978. Comment (subm): Assume early 11th century manufacture? as date substantiates other evidence that some logboat finds are medieval, not prehistoric.
