Supplementary data to Dating the timbers from the 'Sparrow-Hawk', a shipwreck from Cape Cod, USA. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 103374

<p>This record gives access to all supplementary data that forms the background to the paper: Daly, A., Hocker, F. &amp; Mires, C., 2022. Dating the timbers from the &lsquo;Sparrow-Hawk&rsquo;, a shipwreck from Cape Cod, USA. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2022.103374</p> <p>In 1626, a vessel making its way to Virginia was forced off course and damaged in a storm, which drove the ship onto the eastern shore of the Cape Cod peninsula, Massachusetts. &nbsp;Onboard were two English merchants and some servants and farmers, many of whom were Irish. In 1863, a storm exposed the weathered remains of a vessel at Old Ship Harbor. At the time, it was hailed as the same ship that had brought the Virginia-bound passengers to Plymouth in 1626. Recent wiggle-match C14 dating and dendrochronology suggests that this is indeed a ship from the early seventeenth century.</p>
