Using Dendrochronology to Investigate the Historical and Educational Value of two Log Structures at Bear Paw State Natural Area, North Carolina, USA
During May 2013, the Bear Paw State Natural Area near Boone, North Carolina acquired an 11.5 ha tract of land and two log cabins from David Wray of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Work was soon underway to determine the historical nature of these two buildings and to evaluate them for consideration for the National Register of Historic Places. A historic structure report, completed as a collaboration between Appalachian State University and the Nor…
Dendroclimatology
Dendroclimatology is the use of tree rings that have been absolutely dated to their exact years of formation to better understand the Earth's past, present, and future climate. The field requires basic investigations into the primary climate factors that limit or enhance tree growth at any one specific location or across larger geographic regions using a network of sites. Climate variables that can be analyzed include precipitation, temperature, …
The Role of Climate in Early Spanish–Native American Interactions in the US Southwest
Dendrochronological dating of historic log cabins on the Belle Meade Plantation, Davidson County, Tennessee, USA
Dendrochronological Dating of the Historic Mckenzie Home, Meigs County, Tennessee, USA
The McKenzie Home is a one-story log structure located in Meigs County, Tennessee. The land tract where the cabin was originally built was purchased by the McKenzie family ca. A.D. 1820 to 1828, which makes the suspected construction date for the home sometime after 1820. Our objective was to date oak (Quercus spp.) cross-sections taken from original logs to accurately determine the year when the trees were cut and therefore when the structure wa…
Fire Synchrony and the Influence of Pacific Climate Variability on Wildfires in the Florida Keys, United States
We investigated relationships between climate variability and wildfires in endangered pine rockland communities in the Florida Keys, United States, using fire-scarred samples from the canopy dominant Pinus elliottii var. densa. To test broad-scale, spatiotemporal relationships between wildfires and climate, we compared cross-dated fire-scar chronologies from two islands in the lower Florida Keys, Big Pine Key (BPK) and No Name Key (NNK), to measu…
Dendrochronological Dating of Wood from the Fountain of Youth Park Archaeological Site (8SJ31), St. Augustine, Florida, U.S.A
Settled in 1565 by the Pedro Menéndez de Aviles expedition, St. Augustine, Florida, holds great educational, historical, and anthropological interest for current researchers as the oldest continuously occupied European community in the continental United States. Archaeological excavations produced two large (ca. 20 cm diameter) posts from the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park site. Our objective in this project was to use tree-ring dating to …
Snowpack Reconstructions Incorporating Climate In the Upper Green River Basin (Wyoming)
The Green River is the largest tributary of the Colorado River. Given that snowpack is the primary driver of streamflow, information on the long-term regional snowpack (regionalized April 1 Snow Water Equivalent (SWE)) variability would provide useful information for water managers and planners. Previous research efforts were unable to develop skillful SWE reconstructions using tree-ring chronologies in the Upper Green River Basin (UGRB) of Wyomi…
Dendrochronology reveals the construction history of an early 19th century farm settlement, southwestern Virginia, USA
Dendrochronological Dating of the Chief John Ross House, Rossville, Georgia
The Chief John Ross House is a two-story oak (Quercus spp.) and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) log structure located in downtown Rossville, Georgia. The log structure was reportedly built in 1797 by John McDonald, grandfather of Chief John Ross, for his Cherokee bride. This construction date first emerged in the 1950s, when efforts were underway to save the structure. Historical documents, however, indicate that the structure did not…
Climatic Response of Oak Species across an Environmental Gradient in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, USA
We investigated the climatic sensitivity of oak species across a wide elevation range in the southern Appalachian Mountains, an area where greater knowledge of oak sensitivity is desired. We developed three tree-ring chronologies for climatic analyses from oak cores taken from the Jefferson National Forest, Virginia, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. We statistically compared the three chronologies with monthly climatic data fro…
Dendrochronological Dating of the Lund-Spathelf House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
The Lund-Spathelf House is located at 1526 Pontiac Trail in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During a recent renovation, the owner sought information regarding the construction of the house by searching through numerous written records. Despite an extensive history of the land on which the house currently sits, neither a construction year nor general period of construction could be obtained. Therefore, four samples of oak (Quercus spp.) were extracted from f…
The Dendrochronology of Pinus elliottii in the Lower Florida Keys
South Florida slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) is the southernmost pine species in the United States and the foundation species of the globally endangered pine rockland communities in south Florida. To test if slash pine produces annual growth rings in the Lower Florida Keys, we counted the number of rings on samples collected from the North Big Pine Key site (NBP), which contained a fire scar from a known wildfire and a known date for hur…
The Historical Dendroarchaeology of the Ximénez-Fatio House, St. Augustine, Florida, U.S.A
In recent decades, agencies charged with managing historic structures and sites have found dendroarchaeological studies increasingly valuable, given the ability of such studies to verify (or refute) accepted dates of construction. The Ximénez-Fatio House has well-documented historical and cultural significance for the state of Florida, as it is one of St. Augustine's oldest, best-preserved, and most studied historic properties. According to docum…

The Historical Dendroarchaeology Of Two Log Structures At the Marble Springs Historic Site, Knox County, Tennessee, U.S.A
The Marble Springs homestead in south Knox County serves as a significant heritage site for the state of Tennessee because it was the final home of one of our nation's most important founding statesmen and first governor of Tennessee (1796 to 1801, 1803 to 1809), John Sevier. Recent archaeological and historical research had called into question the authenticity of the original John Sevier log cabin located at the Marble Springs homestead. We use…
The Historical Dendroarchaeology Of the Hoskins House, Tannenbaum Historic Park, Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S.A
The Hoskins House is a two-story, single pen log structure located in Tannenbaum Historic Park, Greensboro, North Carolina. The house is thought to have been built by Joseph Hoskins, who lived in Guilford County from 1778 until his death in 1799. Previous archaeological testing of soil around the house yielded over 1000 artifacts, and the ceramics of these gave a Mean Ceramic Date (MCD) of 1810 as a possible initial year of construction. Our obje…
Preface An Introduction To Dendroarchaeology In the Southeastern United States
Dendroarchaeology has a discontinuous history in the Southeastern United States, mostly because of misconceptions (the Southeast is too mesic), bad sampling practices (no standard protocol exists for preserving prehistoric wood samples), and a lack of reference tree-ring chronologies long enough to date wood from the abundant prehistoric sites. The majority of archaeological applications in recent years has focused on the dating of historic sites…
Dendrochronological Dating Of Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) Logs From Alfred'S Cabin, The Hermitage, Home Of President Andrew Jackson
Alfred Jackson was an enslaved African American born on The Hermitage plantation (outside Nashville, Tennessee) of President Andrew Jackson around 1810, and lived most of his life on the plantation. Staff from The Hermitage wished to better understand and interpret lifeways of those once enslaved on the plantation, but the date of construction of Alfred's Cabin first had to be determined. Was it built when Alfred was enslaved or was a freedman? W…
Tree-Ring Dating Of Old-Growth Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) Logs From An Exposed Timber Crib Dam, Hope Mills, North Carolina, U.S.A
On 26 May 2003, intense rainfall from a series of thunderstorms in eastern North Carolina caused flooding that eventually destroyed the concrete dam in Hope Mills, draining Hope Mills Lake, and revealing a formerly submerged and buried structure that was identified as a timber crib dam. Inspection revealed these logs to be old-growth longleaf pines, which are now rare on the coastal plain landscape. Our primary objective was to develop a new mult…
A Dendroarchaeological Approach To Mississippian Culture Occupational History In Eastern Tennessee, U.S.A
We investigated the potential for using long-archived wood samples extracted from archaeological contexts at four Mississippian Period (AD 900–1600) settlements in eastern Tennessee for tree-ring dating purposes. Sixteen wood samples recovered from prehistoric sites were analyzed to: (1) crossmatch samples from each site with the intent of determining the relative chronological order of sites, (2) establish a floating prehistoric tree-ring chrono…
From Blockhouse To Hog House
The Swaggerty Blockhouse has historical and cultural significance for Tennessee because it is believed to be the only remaining 18th Century blockhouse in the state. We incorporated analyses of artifacts obtained from archaeological excavations coupled with tree-ring dating techniques to determine the possible year of construction of the structure. A nearby reference tree-ring chronology from Norris Dam anchored the Swaggerty Blockhouse tree-ring…
The Dendroarchaeology Of Cagle Saltpetre Cave
During the historic mining episodes at Cagle Saltpetre Cave, wooden leaching vats needed for the lixiviation of calcium nitrate from mined sediments (from which saltpeter was then produced) were constructed and used in the cave. When mining operations ceased, these features were abandoned and preserved in situ, some remaining virtually intact. Their remarkable preservation enabled tree-ring dating of timbers associated with these vats to be accom…

Tree-Ring Dating of the Karr-Koussevitzky Double Bass
Sergei Koussevitzky was one of the world's premier conductors and virtuoso bass players whose favorite instrument was an unusually-shaped bass reportedly made in 1611 by the Amati brothers, Antonio and Girolamo. In 1962, 11 years after Koussevitzky's death, his widow gave the bass to Gary Karr, currently considered to be the world's premier double bassist. In 2004, Karr donated the bass to the International Society of Bassists. Close inspection b…
The International Tree-Ring Data Bank
The International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) was established in 1974 to serve as a permanent repository for basic tree-ring data (measurements, chronologies, and derived reconstructions) developed and contributed by scientists from around the world. Housed at the World Data Center-A (WDC-A) for Paleoclima tology at the National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, USA, the ITRDB currently contains 3275 tree-ring chronologies and 2804 tr…
Century scale climate forcing of fire regimes in the American Southwest
Interannual time-scale associations between fire occurrence anddrought indices, the Southern Oscillation, and other synopticpatterns demonstrate that large-scale, long term atmospheric featuresare precursors to regional fire activity. However, our knowledge offire-climate relations over longer (century) timescales is fragmentary because of the rarity of comparable climate and fire time-series with sufficient resolution, length and regional extent…

Assessing the dendrochronological potential of Pinus occidentalis Swartz in the Cordillera Central of the Dominican Republic
Opportunities for dendrochronology in the tropics are rare because few locations experience sesonality strong enough to induce annual (or even dependably cyclic) ring formation in trees. Consequently, any such opportunities that exist are valuable and identifying them is worth investing time and effort. West Indian pine (Pinus occidentalis Swartz) is endemic to the island of Hispaniola (l9°N, 71°W). It has prviously been shown not to produce usef…

A Test of “Annual Resolution” in Stalagmites Using Tree Rings
So-called annual banding has been identified in a number of speleothems in which the number of bands approximates the time interval between successive U-series dates. The apparent annual resolution of speleothem records, however, remains largely untested. Here we statistically compare variations in band thickness from a late Holocene stalagmite in Carlsbad Cavern, Southern New Mexico, USA, with three independent tree-ring chronologies form the sa…
Climatic Regionalization and the Spatio-Temporal Occurrence of Extreme Single-Year Drought Events (1500–1998) in the Interior Pacific Northwest, USA
Tree-ring records from western juniper ( Juniperus occidentalis var. occidentalis Hook.) growing throughout the interior Pacific Northwest identify extreme climatic pointer years (CPYs) (i.e., severe single-year droughts) from 1500–1998. Widespread and extreme CPYs were concentrated in the 16th and early part of the 17th centuries and did not occur again until the early 20th century. The 217-yr absence of extreme CPYs may have occurred during an …
