Wetland Dendrochronology: An Overview of Prehistoric Chronologies from the Southwestern Balkans
Abstrak
AbstractIn the past few decades, a number of prehistoric wetland archaeological sites have been detected in the south-central part of the BalkanPeninsula. However, only a few of them have been excavated. In this study, we discuss the characteristics of the wooden remains and selected tree-ring width chronologies from the archaeological sites of Sovjan, Ploča Mičov Grad and Dispilio. They represent the first prehistoric centennial and multi-centennial tree-ring chronologies from the region, covering various periods of the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age. The dominant wood species utilised on the sites are members of the genus Quercus, but significant numbers of Juniperus and Pinus were also recovered, in addition to someotherdeciduous species. Through radiocarbon dating and wiggle-matching, we were able to anchor these floating tree-ring chronologies on the calendar scale with high temporal resolution.
