How could anyone determine the age of such an aged object so precisely, especially when there are absolutely no records to verify the date? Well, tree-ring dating, or dendrochronology, can be this ...

A scientific date is either absolute (specific to one point in time) or relative (younger or older than something else). Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, provides absolute dates in two ...

Samples taken from artifacts in the museum collections were used to test the accuracy of radiocarbon dating, since archaeologists already knew their ages by tree-ring dating and other evidence. The ...

The ages of the trees were measured using dendrochronology, a scientific method of dating trees through their rings. It is done by twisting a hollow borer into a tree trunk to retrieve a small ...

Perhaps you’ve wandered through a forest or strolled into a neighborhood park and found tree trunks — and wondered if ...

Scientists say a new dating technique analysing tree rings has provided evidence that Vikings occupied a site in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1021AD. It has long been known that Europeans reached the ...

Tree-ring analysis has been able to date a medieval ship found in a Welsh riverbank to within a few months. The wreck of a 15th Century ship was found in the mud of Newport's River Usk in 2002 and ...

Dating extreme solar eruption events is essential for scientists who study and develop models of the sun’s activity over time. A new analysis of tree rings worldwide for carbon-14 — a ...
