In this work present study to describe the survey of climatic change in case Šumadija-Central Serbia. Climate due a fragile ecosystem semi-arid, and arid region such as Serbia is one most challenging climatological hydrological problems. Dendrochronology, wich uses tree rings their exact year formation analyse temporal spatial patterns processes physical cultural sciences, can be used evaluate ...

Currently, incomparable dating systems are used in archaeology, based on historical chronology, dendrochronology, and two types of radiocarbon dates: LSC AMS. But the latter suggest, as a rule, earlier dates. Contrary to this, intervals chronology dendrochronology quite comparable. And obtained by means Bayesian statistics AMS dates very close. The problem is also aggravated fact that use stand...

Olive trees are a classic component of Mediterranean environments and some of them are known historically to be very old. In order to evaluate the possibility to use olive tree-rings for dendrochronology, we examined by various methods the reliability of olive tree-rings identification. Dendrochronological analyses of olive trees growing on the Aegean island Santorini (Greece) show that the det...

Several authors have claimed that radiocarbon dates in the Ancient Near East are too early. Herein, a hypothesis that might explain this is presented. Marine degassing of “old” carbon (i.e. 14C-deficient C), induced by upwelling of old subsurface water, has been observed, in modern times, to cause century-scale 14C ages in the surface atmosphere. A review of the Mediterranean Sea post-ice-age c...

Standard procedures to obtain high-quality images of wood samples have become a bottleneck in the digitization dendrochronology. Digitization is currently dominated by flatbed scanners, but use these devices limited sample length and surface flatness. Although several solutions based on digital photography been published, they lack effective processes or are too expensive be widely adopted. Fre...
