Abstrakt: The article discusses the use of inter-genus oxygen isotope dendrochronology to date the keel of the Newport Medieval Ship, revealing a felling date of AD 1457/58 for the beech timber used in its construction. The study suggests that the ship's primary construction was a relatively rapid process, possibly completed within a year. The findings contribute to understanding timber sourcing and ship construction practices of the time, highlighting the value of isotopic dendrochronology in dating preserved maritime timbers.
