ABSTRACT
The value of dendrochronology to archaeology is diffi cult to overstate: over the past eighty years, it has become the gold standard for referencing chronological, behavioural, and environmental events when wood is found on archaeological sites (Dean, 1996; 2009). With its origins rooted in the south-western region of the United States, dendroarchaeology has spread to much of the rest of the world and has been a mainstay of European archaeology for at least four decades (Kuniholm, 2001; Baillie, 2002; Čufar, 2007; Dean, 2009; Eckstein and Cherubini, 2012).
