Statement

One to three specimens from each sample were treated to stepwise thermal demagnetisation, in 25–50 °C steps up to 700 °C Low frequency magnetic susceptibility (Klf) was monitored after heating stages, measured using a Bartington MS2B sensor to assess thermal alteration. Most specimens were treated with a combination of thermal and alternating field (AF) demagnetisation at Lancaster using static axis-AF demagnetisation on a 2G RAPID magnetometer, with GRM correction using GM4Edit (Hounslow, 2019). This combined procedure was to better isolate the remanence in those which were subject to thermal alteration, which started ~250–350 °C
