• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The analysis of tree-ring patterns, or dendrochronology, is a very exact science and an important dating technique. This book, published originally in 1982, traces the development of a specific project from its inception to the successful completion of some of the longest chronologies in Europe. It looks at some of the problems associated with the subject and outlines the techniques associated with the measurement and processing of tree-ring patterns.
