Dendrochronological Investigations in the Aegean and Neighboring Regions, 1983-1986

Abstract

In the four years of dendrochronological investigation covered by this report we have increased the number of sites studied and samples collected by about 70%, extending the scope of prospecting beyond Greece and Turkey to Yugoslavia and Italy, and including prehistoric, ancient, and medieval sites as well as natural forest and riverine wood. The number of samples that can be crossdated has now almost doubled, and a revised absolute oak master chronology for the region now extends from the present to A.C. 1073. The upgrading of computer facilities and the addition of new long sequences has required a forward correction by 35 years of the absolute oak chronology for all sets heretofore dated before 1546. We now have a sufficient number of samples with bark or terminal growth ring for preliminary statistics on the distribution of Aegean oak sapwood, ultimately essential for felling year estimation and archaeological interpretation. The total number of dated oak samples is also large enough for a first synopsis of sample abundance in the region studied. Both of these results differ from those obtained by others for Northern Europe and the British Isles.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the pre-modern world there is little evidence that timber was not used more or less immediately in roughhewn situations, especially when no lengthy transport is involved.

    “In the pre-modern world there is little evidence that timber was not used more or less immediately (with ‘seasoning’, where mentioned, usually meaning literally after a season, so within 0–1 year of felling) in such roughhewn situations [71, 72] and especially when no lengthy transport is involved”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
