Carbon Date. 2405BC. Early Bronze Age Carbon Dates

Report: Bone, id as 3 articulated cattle vertebrae, from ditch L-Q (C42, S54; S62, 834, 854) at Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England. Subm 1995[?]. Comment (M J Allen): from very early in Phase 2, representing secondary fills of ditch and construction of timber structures. This deposit and that of OxA-5981 both retained tendons and sinew on deposition and so cannot be considered as residual. This date overlaps range of high precision dates for Phase I ditch-digging.
