On the Curious Date of the Rylstone Log-Coffin Burial [PDF]

Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 2016
Radiocarbon dates have been obtained from a log-coffin burial excavated in 1864 by Canon William Greenwell from a ditched round barrow at Scale House, near Rylstone, North Yorkshire. The oak tree-trunk coffin had contained an extended body wrapped in a wool textile. The body had entirely decayed and there were no other extant grave goods.

Gristhorpe Man: an Early Bronze Age log-coffin burial scientifically defined [PDF]

Antiquity, 2010
A log-coffin excavated in the early nineteenth century proved to be well enough preserved in the early twenty-first century for the full armoury of modern scientific investigation to give its occupants and contents new identity, new origins and a new date. In many ways the interpretation is much the same as before: a local big man buried looking out to

The South Scandinavian barrows with well-preserved oak-log coffins [PDF]

Antiquity, 2001
Recent archaeological and pedological research on South Scandinavian Bronze Age barrows reveals that the remarkable conditions of preservation in a number of mounds are the result of particular construction techniques or special activities during construction. Augerings indicate that the phenomenon is concentrated within specific groups of barrows with

The Early Bronze Age Log Coffin Burials of Britain: The Origins and Development of a Burial Rite(s)

Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 2023
This paper describes the results from a project to obtain radiocarbon determinations from Early Bronze Age log coffin burials. Log coffins have been recognised as a burial tradition since antiquarian excavations uncovered the first examples. However, comparatively few are associated with radiocarbon determinations and many old determinations are very ...
