Iberian Dendrochronology and the Newport Medieval Ship

Abstract: At the time of the discovery of the Newport medieval ship, it proved impossible to date the timbers used in its original construction through dendrochronology. Associated British timbers and artefacts provided dating to the mid 15th century, with the latter pointing to strong Iberian connections. The development of regional oak ring-width chronologies in the Basque Country, and their extension back in time to overlap with the ring-width mean developed for the Newport Ship, has allowed absolute dating and prove… Show more

“…The absolute dating of these groups is largely based on dendrochronological dating of oak timbers (Nayling, ). The results of an extensive dendrochronology study are summarized in Figure , where ring‐width sequences dated against British chronologies are presented with their felling‐date ranges based on current sapwood estimates, in line with guidance on best practice (English Heritage, ) (See also Nayling and Susperregi, , this volume).…”

“…There are remains of 52 strakes of oak ( Quercus spp.) hull planking; 17 on the port, and 35 on the starboard sides (see schematic plan, Nayling and Susperregi, , fig 1). There are 373 distinct planks, composed of 711 fragments.…”

“…The utility of dendrochronology is also demonstrated by the frequency with which tree‐ring dating results are quoted by authors within this journal. In some cases, articles have been written by dendrochronologists as the primary publication of the results of a particular study, with dating and provenance outcomes supported by the presentation of appropriate levels of replicated correlation between a ship's timbers and absolutely dated ring‐width chronologies (Daly, ; Daly and Nymoen, ; Domínguez‐Delmás et al ., ; Haneca and Daly, ; Nayling and Susperregi, ; Vermeersch et al ., 2015; Daly and Belasus, 2016). In other cases, tree‐ring dates are quoted by authors that are the result of dendrochronological studies carried out by other researchers.…”

“…Even if an absolute date for construction cannot be established, the treering patterns of the examined surviving timbers can produce valuable information on the craftsmanship of the ships' builders, wood conversion processes, and the timber assemblage-preferred wood species, preferred growth rates for specific timber elements, the number of trees employed, the forest management practices where the wood originated, and so on. The possibilities for applications of tree-ring research in nautical archaeology have been illustrated in recent years through the study of different types of shipwreck assemblages (Loewen and Delhaye, 2006;Daly, 2007;Daly and Nymoen, 2008;Dobbs and Bridge, 2008;Domínguez-Delmás et al, 2013;Haneca and Daly, 2014;Martín-Benito et al, 2014;Nayling and Susperregi, 2014;Daly and Belasus, 2016).…”
