What do dendrochronology and other timber-dating methods tell us about the history of English post mills
Post mills are a distinctive type of windmill that has had a long history in England. Today only 47 post mills still survive in England. Evidence from 15 of these where their timbers have been subjected to dendrochronological investigations combined with other sources of evidence helps build a picture of the history of each of these mills. Most mills contain timbers from different historical rebuilding phases, but with the main posts often being …
ELM Dendrochronology
Elm is generally considered to be unsuitable for dendrochronology, usually having too few rings, or having abrupt growth-rate changes that do not result from the external weather conditions. Samples rarely match each other in the same structure. A further difficulty is that even where it is known that the sequence is complete (the bark is still present), it is often not possible to distinguish sapwood rings by their appearance, even under a micro…
Progress in British Dendrochronology
Tree rings and time
By studying the annual growth rings of long-lived trees, and those preserved in ancient timbers that have survived in waterlogged or very dry conditions, it is possible to date past events in calendar years and to investigate climatic and other environmental changes. Dendrochronology has many applications, including the dating of buildings and ships and the calibration of the radiocarbon timescale that is so widely used in archaeology. Here the t…
Locating the origins of wood resources
Resource Exploitation and Wood Mobility in Northern European Oak
Dendrochronology has proved useful in suggesting the provenance of timbers in northern Europe, particularly for ship-timbers, which may have originated from a distant source. Historical chronologies are usually derived from timbers of uncertain origin. In trying to provenance a new chronology, therefore, trends in the geographical distribution of statistical matches should be viewed, rather than individual strong matches. While it is usual to tes…

Can Dendrochronology be used to Indicate the Source of Oak Within Britain
The large number of oak tree-ring site chronologies now available, covering the last millennium and beyond, make it possible to investigate the geographical relationships between sites from the degree of similarity between their ring-width series. However, it is only by studying living trees that these relationships can be evaluated unambiguously. While some examples of tree-ring series can be linked to relatively small geographical areas, genera…
Tree Rings for Kanishka
The Dendrochronological Dating of Buildings in Southern England
THIS PAPER briefly outlines earlier work in southern England and discusses particular problems associated with the tree-ring dating of building timbers in the region. Specific examples from recent research not only highlight these problems, but show the success that may also be achieved. A new regional chronology for southern England, constructed entirely from building timbers, is presented and its use and further development discussed
