Extensive rescue excavations in Exeter during 1972 produced large quantities of waterlogged oak timbers. These were used to construct a tree-ring chronology for the period A.D. 799-1216. The chronology crossmatches well with tree-ring sequences from other areas of the British Isles. It will thus form an important building block in the construction of a long English tree-ring curve which can be used to date archaeological timbers from most regions of Britain.
