This book--a seminal study in its field--provides a simple yet eloquent introduction to the discipline, explaining what a dendrochronologist does both in the field and in the laboratory.Authors Stokes and Smiley first explain the basic principles of tree-ring dating, then describe details of the process, step by step, from the time a sample is collected until it is incorporated into a master chronology.The book focuses on coniferous evergreens of the Southwest, particularly pions, because they have wide geographic distribution, constitute a large population, and show excellent growth response to certain controlling factors. The book is specifically concerned with the task of establishing a calendar date for a wood or charcoal specimen.This concise but thorough explication of an important discipline will make dendrochonology more meaningful to students and professionals in archaeology, forestry, hydrology, and global change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52341798109472,"sku":"USED0816516804","price":22.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81xq5riIkmL.jpg?v=1789162524","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-tree-ring-dating-0816516804-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
