New Dates from Old Trees: The Aegean Dendrochronology Project

October 5, 2000
Fine Arts Bldg B
Room 103/105
8PM

The lecture tells the story of twenty-seven years' dendrochronological collection, measurement, and analysis in the Eastern Mediterranean as we have built some 6500 years' worth of of tree-ring chronologies, some of them extending as far back as the early 7th millennium B.C.E. (Over 180 medieval buildings and sites and over 100 ancient buildings and sites have been dated by this method as of April 2000.)
