The direction of geomagnetic field in Belgium since roman times and the reliability of archaeomagnetic dating
Jozef Hus|Raoul Geeraerts
Local geomagnetic secular variation curves are needed for improving models of the palaeofield changes and to increase accuracy archeomagnetic dating. Archaeomagnetic results from 34 baked structures given as a first trial construct directional Belgium period Post-Roman until 18th century A.D. Often regular irregular deviations noticed in walls kilns. Large remanent magnetization direction found big, circular, medieval pottery kiln can be explained by combination wall movement magnetic distortion effects main origin. Two quicklime kilns, with unclear relationship other features archaeological sites, were archaeomagnetically dated applying British French master inclination declination reference. This example highlights some difficulties encountered when existing
