Dataset

Description

This data consists of the tree-ring measurements from alder timbers from Drumclay crannog, Co. Fermanagh. Between 2012 and 2013 an archaeological excavation was carried out which revealed almost 7 m of vertical archaeological stratigraphy. A large quantity of wood samples were retrieved from these waterlogged deposits. This data consists of the tree-ring measurements that were used to build an alder chronology for this early medieval site. Each file contains ring-width data from a sample or samples from archaeological contexts from Drumclay crannog. The contexts are signified as CXXXX while the samples appear as QXXXXXX. This data was collected and produced between 2017 and 2020 using a Nikon SMZ800 stereoscopic zoom microscope and TSAPWin software (Rinn 2003).

Note that this data was conducted as part of a PhD entitled "Drumclay: a tree-ring dated narrative for an Irish crannog." This dataset record is connected to the corresponding e-thesis record here in Queen's Research Portal. The dataset is embargoed until 1 July 2027.
