Dear Mr Dale
I am a master crafsman studying early carpentry, I would be grateful if you could help me with my research. Please could you answer the following questions for me:
Is there a detailed archaeological report on the Gokstad burial chamber?
Has treering dating be done on the timbers of the Gokstad Burial chamber?
Do we know the date of this building? Could the building be older that the Golstad Ship?
What species of trees were used in the construction of the Burial Chamber?
I would be very grateful for your assistance
Wishing you good health and a Happy New Year
Best wishes
Paul Reed MA Cons. York
