DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF

FOUR TIMBERS SENT FROM THE OLD BREWERY,

HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND

SUMMARY

Three oak and one pine sections of building timbers were sent by post for dendrochronological analysis. Three samples were sent from the Old Brewery, however a fourth oak sample originated from a building situated in Tiverton, Devon. Two of the oak sections contained insufficient rings for dating analysis. An 81-year tree-ring sequence from the remaining oak timber from the "wall" of The Old Brewery failed to date. However, a 150-year sequence of pine from the "extension" at The Old Brewery is demonstrated to cross-date with Scandinavian reference chronologies, and spans AD 1623 to AD1772. Using currently available reference chronologies the technique of dendroprovenancing clearly suggests Dalarna, Sweden (which was called Kopparberg county until 31 December 1996) as the closest source for this imported softwood timber.
