We also have a number of more specialized items, such as tree-ring and archeomagnetic sampling kits. |
Also known as tree-ring dating, the method is based on the fact that living trees add an annual growth ring to their trunk and branches. |
We sampled vegetation and developed pitch pine and Virginia pine tree-ring chronologies from the midslope and the mountaintop. |
As an archaeologist and dendrochronologist, I am much more inclined to believe the tree-ring dates from the structure than assume it was not built. |
The principal aim of the dendrochronologist is to establish a tree-ring chronology where each year can be related to a relative tree-ring width. |
Tree-ring growth in Virginia pine was significantly, negatively correlated to early fall temperature. |
