Climate model projections suggest widespread drying in the Mediterranean Basin and wetting Fennoscandia coming decades largely as a consequence of greenhouse gas forcing climate. To place these other "Old World" climate into historical perspective based on more complete estimates natural hydroclimatic variability, we have developed World Drought Atlas" (OWDA), set year-to-year maps tree-ring reconstructed summer wetness dryness over Europe during Common Era. The OWDA matches accounts severe...
Dendrochronological research in North-Central Europe and the East Mediterranean has produced networks of long regional oak ( Quercus sp.) reference chronologies that have been instrumental dating, provenancing, paleoclimate applications. However, until now these two important tree-ring not successfully linked. Oak forests historical/archaeological sites southeastern provide key for linking European networks, but previous dendrochronological this region largely absent. This article presents...
As part of a larger project promoting the development historical dendrochronology in Iberian Peninsula, ship-timbers from Arade 1 wreck (mostly planking and framing elements), stored at DANS/IGESPAR Lisbon, were examined. Of these, 52 samples identified as deciduous oak (Quercus subg. quercus) two chestnut (Castanea sativa). 24 timbers selected for dendrochronological research, 23 could be dated, placing origin wood western France felling trees between AD 1579 1583. Their homogeneity...
Prof. Dr. Dieter Eckstein (1939 - 2021) significantly influenced the global development of dendrochronology and underlying science wood biology. Eckstein's research areas included dendroclimatology, xylogenesis, ecophysiology, quantitative anatomy. His personal collaborative work continues to improve our understanding both natural environment human cultural development. The techniques he developed championed resolved long-standing difficulties in application tree-ring understand processes...
AbstractAbstractThis article presents a multidisciplinary case study of The Armorer's Shop (North Carolina Museum Art), seventeenth-century panel painting attributed to David Teniers the Younger Flanders. was motivated, first, by visual and X-ray radiographic observations suggesting an atypical construction, second, discovery that depiction armor in this is nearly identical several other works. All but one these paintings are Jan Brueghel Younger, contemporary Flemish painter related...
A total of 272 oak ( Quercus sp.) samples have been collected from large subfossil trees dredged sediment deposited by the Sava and various tributary rivers in Zagreb region northwestern Croatia, northern Bosnia Herzegovina. Measurement series tree-ring widths these produced 12 groups, totaling 3456 years floating chronologies spread through last ca. 8000 years. This work represents first step creating a new, high-resolution resource for dating paleoenvironmental reconstruction Balkan...
Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) is a widely used tree species in European dendroclimatology studies due to its common distribution across much of the continent. Almost all find radial growth strongly related summer temperature, result reflecting site selection at high elevation/latitude environments where trees grow their ecophysiological limits. Due amount attention spent on these sites there geographical and seasonal bias temperature reconstructions based upon tree‐ring proxies Europe....
Although variations in building activity are a useful indicator of societal well-being and demographic development, historical datasets for larger regions longer periods still rare. Here, we present 54,045 annually precise dendrochronological felling dates from construction timber across most Europe between 1250 1699 CE to infer activity. We use geostatistical techniques compare spatiotemporal dynamics past European against independent demographic, economic, social climatic data. show that...
The "princely" barrows of Łęki Małe, Greater Poland are the oldest such monuments within distribution area Únětice societies in Central Europe. While Circum-Harz group and Silesia similar rich furnished graves under mounds have appeared as single early 1950 BC, Małe represents a chain constructed between 2150 BC 1800 BC. Of original 14 mounds, only four were preserved well enough that their complex biographies can now be reconstructed. They included ritual activities (before, during, after...
In the Mediterranean region, stone and clay have long been basic materials for buildings, crafts, manufacturing. Wood plays a secondary, frequently hidden, role but is almost always present. Commonly considered 'less important' building component, wood has one of first replaced discarded during restoration works. this study, we apply dendrochronological techniques to timbers from Preveli Monastery on island Crete in south Aegean (Greece). Samples were mainly collected piles components...
