Just a little reminder. Our Special Issue 'Dendrochronology and Knowledge of the Human Past'. Several papers online, and more being reviewed. But we decided to extend the paper submission deadline to the end of the year. Looking forward to your paper (detail from Ringsaker, photo: Aoife Daly).

We have dubbed the special issue dendroarchaeologia. Don't know if it will catch on as a tag, maybe it's too long 😵‍💫

The photograph, taken within a museum setting, depicts two remarkably well-preserved Roman barrels of substantial size. They appear largely complete, with the exception of their upper sections.

So happy to have helped create the new ScARF Dendro Research Framework for Scotland. True team effort.

We’re hoping it will underpin greater uptake and support for #dendrochronology in #archaeology and built #heritage in #Scotland.

It's here! 🌳

We're delighted to launch the brand new Dendrochronology Research Framework for Scotland at ELBAC 2024!

This collaborative framework offers an insight into the significance and scope of this intricate discipline.

Post oak (Quercus stellata) #TreeRings can be both easy and difficult to work with! Both photos are from the same tree core. Often you have to skip a section and work from one with easier to identify marker years. #Dendro #Dendrochronology 🌳💍💚
Microscope view of post oak vessels with tyloses filling up most cells. The vertical rows of tree-rings are extremely close together and difficult to distinguish from one another.
