Langengrassau; ard. K-2529: 880±80 BP;
cal.years 1175 AD; 1035-1255 AD cal. ± 1 st.d.
Wood of oak (Quercus sp.) from an ard found
in 1979 during mud-clearance in a stream and
repeated drainage in a depression near Lan-
gengrassau, c. 70 km south of Berlin, District
of Luckau, Brandenburg, Germany. The ard
is of the crook type with sole, 66 cm, and
beam (101.2 cm) made from a bifurcated
branch. Since the holes for a stilt and share
are not yet made the direct reference to the
ard type, which the Dabergotz ard repre-
sents, is not evident (Fries 1995, 202; Lerche
1985, 99; Vogt 1984, 279-288, fig. 2) no figure.

tariat for Research on the History of Agricul-

The date and period of use corresponds
with similar dated plough pieces, cf. K-598
and K-599. The plough is in Silkeborg Mu-
seum (Fries 1995, 209; Lerche 1968, 56;
Lerche 1970, 131-134; Lerche & Steensberg

Wood of oak (Quercus sp.) from a sheath of a
pebble studded mould board plough, length
64 cm, found at Matr.No. 16a, Linaa Parish,
Gjern District, Skanderborg County, Jutland,
Denmark.
It was found in 1959 during drainage of a
meadow, 1.20 m beneath the surface. The
wood was treated with linseed oil which was
extracted prior to dating. The lignin fraction
was isolated and dated. Sample Silkeborg

taken from inside the rear end of the 249.5 cm

friesshire, SW Scotland. The sample was tak-
en before any preservation. Sample Pd
