A total of 909 samples of subfossil wood were collected in 38 high elevation sites of the Italian Alps. 517 of them were dated to the calendar year through dendrochronology, allowing the construction of 8 mean chronologies, which all together cover a period of around 11500 years. Such long tree-ring chronologies demonstrate to be a powerful tool for dating of archaeological woods in Italy and abroad.

Abstract

A total of 909 samples of subfossil wood were collected in 38 high elevation sites of the Italian Alps. 517 of them were dated to the calendar year through dendrochronology, allowing the construction of 8 mean chronologies, which all together cover a period of around 11500 years. Such long tree-ring chronologies demonstrate to be a powerful tool for dating of archaeological woods in Italy and abroad.
