The recent development of an oxygen isotope (δ18O) master chronology for south central England (1200–2000 AD) has successfully demonstrated reliable cross-dating between the master chronology and undated samples from vernacular and high-status buildings. The method is well suited to complacent, wide-ringed samples, which are commonplace throughout the UK historic buildings archive and often fail to date by ring-width dendrochronology, or remain unsampled. This paper outlines briefly the isotope dating technique, and describes the application of the method to a number of case studies where ring-width dendrochronology has been unable to provide a robust date. The close association between ring-width dating and stable isotope dendrochronology is explored and its wider potential considered.Note: For illustrations of the buildings used in the case studies, see “Stable Isotope Tree-ring Dates: List 1,” Vernacular Architecture 50: 88–93
