Possibilities and Limitations of Dendrochronological Dating
Календарная датировка древесины из исторических объектов невозможна без наличия длительных древеснокольцевых хронологий (ДКХ). До недавнего времени вопрос об их построении для Новосибирской обл. оставался нерешенным. Необходимо было дать ответ на ряд вопросов методического характера, например связанных с оценкой пространственной однородности дендрохронологического сигнала в области, попыткой усиления комплексного климатического сигнала, который с…
Possibilities and Limitations of Dendrochronological Dating
Calendar dating of archaeological wood presupposes the existence of long-term tree-ring chronologies. Until recently, the development of such chronologies for the Novosibirsk Region remained an unanswered challenge. Several methodological issues had to be addressed, including the assessment of spatial homogeneity in dendrochronological signals across the region, the enhancement of the composite climatic signal contained within tree growth pattern…
On Dating Archaeological Sites Evidencing Ferrous Metallurgy in the Southeastern Altai, Based on Radiocarbon and Dendrochronological Analyses of Charcoal
В статье рассматриваются особенности использования древесного угля в качестве материала для датирования железоплавильных горнов на Юго-Восточном Алтае. Применение для этих целей радиоуглеродного анализа сопряжено с рядом трудностей, связанных прежде всего с точностью определения календарного возраста. Другой фундаментальной причиной ошибочного удревнения времени функционирования сыродутных горнов на Юго-Восточном Алтае является эффект «старого де…
On the Issue of the Material Used for Making the Side Plates of Buryat Bows
This article presents the anatomical analysis of side shoulder plates in a Buryat composite bow which is kept in the collection of the National Museum of the Republic of Buryatia in Ulan-Ude (inventory No. MIB NV 1208/1). Based on the combination of its surviving structural elements and morphometric features, this severely damaged composite bow was attributed to the manufacturing tradition typical of the settlement area of the Selenga Buryats.

Dendrochronological Research of Archaeological Charcoal
This article discusses specific aspects of dendrochronological research using charcoal – a material long considered unpromising for tree-ring analysis. Frequent discoveries of charcoal at various archaeological sites and its relatively good preservation in cultural layers have made it possible to enhance modern approaches to sample preparation and research methodologies for this material. This represents a significant step forward in dendrochrono…
Xylotomical Analysis of Arrow Shafts from the Anash-10 Site (Krasnoyarsk Krai)
In 2025, the Kurai Team of the IAET SB RAS undertook rescue excavations of a burial mound at the Anash-10 burial ground, attributed to the Podgornovo stage of the Tagar culture and located in the flood zone of the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir. A set of six socketed arrowheads made of copper alloy was of particular interest among the finds. This is a unique discovery since fragments of wooden shafts have been preserved, which happens extremely rarely in …
On Dating Archaeological Sites Evidencing Ferrous Metallurgy in the Southeastern Altai, based on Radiocarbon and Dendrochronological Analyses of Charcoal
This study examines the use of charcoal for dating iron-smelting furnaces in the southeastern Altai. Problems with using radiocarbon analysis in this case are connected with the accuracy of assessing the calendar age. Another important reason why the age of furnaces is overestimated is the “old wood” effect. This effect cannot be avoided by making radiocarbon dating of thin tree trunks (branches) from slag or by using the youngest radiocarbon dat…
Funerary Rites and Christianization Issues of the Indigenous Population in the Taz Arctic
The article addresses the burial complex Num-hibya-siheri VIa, located on the territory of the Taz district, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Russia), studied in 2016-2018. The novelty and originality of the study lies in the comprehensive approach to the analysis of Christian burials of Selkup children in the Arctic region of Western Siberia with further interpretation of the funerary rites. The diversity of funerary constructions made it possibl…

A New Approach to the Study of Archaeological Charcoal
В последние годы применение метода дендрохронологии в археологии претерпевает существенную трансформацию, позволяющую привлекать древесный материал, ранее считавшийся малоперспективным. Одним из ярких примеров являются древесные угли из археологических памятников. В рамках представленной работы было исследовано 448 образцов углей, собранных в местах раскопок металлургических (железоплавильных) печей в Курайской и Чуйской котловинах Русского (Горн…
New Pages in the History of Berezovo
Berezov is a city with a rich history. A significant amount of wood has been preserved on the territory of the Berezovskoe gorodishe archaeological site. For its dating, the dendrochronological method was used, which makes possible to establish the time of construction of archaeological sites (wood harvesting) with an accuracy of up to a year/season. The material for dendrochronological studies carried out at the Siberian Dendrochronological Labo…
A New Approach to the Study of Archaeological Charcoal
In recent years, dendrochronological analysis in archaeology has undergone a substantial transformation, offering an opportunity to use samples of wood that were previously considered uninformative. One striking example is the analysis of charcoal excavated from archaeological sites. We have studied 448 samples of charcoal collected from metallurgical (iron smelting) furnaces in the Kurai and Chuya basins of the Russian Altai Mountains. Earlier m…

Chronological Typology of Yeniseysk’s Wooden Monuments of Architecture
Nowadays in Yeniseysk more than seventy diverse wooden architecture monuments have been preserved. The time of their construction remains debated. On the basis of a comprehensive (dendrochronological, historical and architectural) study, a chronological typology was created, according to which wooden structures (residential buildings, outbuildings and some government buildings) were grouped into four chronological types: I — structures of the fir…
Non-Invasive Methods in Dendrochronology
With the development of new technologies, several conceptually new methodological developments have appeared in the modern dendrochronology, including the study of samples using the so-called “non-invasive methods.” This article details the history of the use of high-resolution macrophotography and computed tomography for studying wooden samples, which, due to their high historical, cultural, and material value, cannot be studied using traditiona…
Dendrochronological Dating of Wooden Buildings in the Novosibirsk Region
Сreation of a long-term tree-ring calendar chronology based on archaeological wood in the Novosibirsk region is directly linked with mass dating of wooden buildings. In 2021, for the first time, successful calendar dating of two wooden houses located in Sarachevka, the Novosibirsk Region, was carried out. To study the architectural appearance of each building, a 3D model was built using a high-resolution camera installed aboard an unmannedflying …

Rice Cultivating Rituals of the Indigenous Ethnic Minorities in the Southwestern China (Yunnan) as a Possible Key to the Meaning of the Petroglyphic Composition from Cangyuan County
Application of the Blue-Intensity Method for Dating Wooden Buildings in Siberia
Despite the success achieved in the tree-ring dating of wood samples from archaeological excavations over the recent years, attempts to apply this method to relatively recent wooden constructions in central Siberia run into considerable difficulties, because the increment of wood in that area shows little variation due to the virtual absence of limiting factors. To solve this problem, we used the blue intensity method, based on measuring the opti…
