Delighted to be working with @bordersforesttrust to investigate the age and history of Dairy Wood at their Corehead & Ericstane site near Moffat. The results will inform BFT’s conservation and outreach work here.

The Digital Collaboratory for Cultural Dendrochronology (DCCD) records have been added to the Portal - 3,817 datasets starting at 10,000 BCE providing dating for sites and artefacts from mainly NL, BE plus the UK, ES, FR, Scandinavia and eastern Europe.

The Tower of London Tower Bridge Also from @livinglondonhistory IG. What is thought to be Britain's oldest door. 'Dendrochronology carried out in 2005 revealed that the wood was felled nearly 1000 years ago in 1032. It therefore dates from the time of the original Westminster Abbey built by Edward the Confesso.'
🏴☠️Cody🏴☠️ Elwë Singollo 🌷🧝🏻♀️ They can calibrate it with tree rings. Which is basically the most accurate possible way of doing archeology

Patrick GubbenPettersson Finn Wilson you talk a load of bollocks.
for one thing C14 dating has been calibrated using dendrochronology and confirmed against other dating techniques including human artefacts which SHOW THE BLOODY YEAR!
Stefan Bastian Nathan Weisser 🌳🪓 No you still don't understand. Dendrochronology doesn't need to be calibrated. All you need is enough overlapping tree samples to establish a sequence. C14 dates are calebrated with dendro but the C14 content of the rings is still an independent measurement.
Mike Batt LVO So you can use dendrochronology and avoid the embarrassment of asking my age.
George Fairbairn It is a very interesting subject.
Dendrochronology has been used successfully to date timber fairly accurately.
