Site Comparisons

The individual calibrated dates were sorted by increments for each site in order to see how they were spatially distributed (Table 51). This does not show how many dates were obtained at a given site, but which time periods are represented. Three periods dominate: A.D. 100–400, A.D. 400–600 and A.D. 800–1000. Together these horizons comprise 81% of the total.

Looking at the material as a whole (Figure 156), the dates appear to cluster in four successive steps. The oldest cluster ranges from 1845 to 1660 B.P. The next cluster is from 1570 to 1390 B.P., the third is from 1300 to 1110 B.P and the fourth is from 1045 to 880 B.P. The weighted averages of these clusters and their ranges within two standard deviations are shown in Table 52. The two final age groups are separated by only 55 years and correspond to the early and late Viking Period. This gap is probably not significant. There is a significant gap of 170 years, however, between the second and third groups, or between A.D. 608 and A.D. 778. Groups 1 and 2 are separated by 105 years, which is also significant. These numbers support the conclusion that the clustering is real.
