A 900-YEARS LARCH CHRONOLOGY FOR NORTH-WESTERN SIBERIA ON THE BASES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL WOOD OF THE UST-VOYKAR SETTLEMENT
Abstract: During 2003-2006 summer excavation seasons of the Ust-Voykar settlement (65°40 ' N, 64°30 ' E) located in northwestern Siberia on the left bank of Gornaya Ob river, 121 samples of larch were collected. Living trees collected nearby were used to cross-date settlement construction....

| Summary: | Abstract: During 2003-2006 summer excavation seasons of the Ust-Voykar settlement (65°40 ' N, 64°30 ' E) located in northwestern Siberia on the left bank of Gornaya Ob river, 121 samples of larch were collected. Living trees collected nearby were used to cross-date settlement construction. On the basis of living larch trees a 446 year (1554-1999) chronology has been constructed. Calendar dates for 101 samples of archaeological wood were established by cross-dating. Together, the living and ar-cheological material result in a 903 year long chronology. This chronology shows similar variations as the Yamal and Polar Ural chronologies and provides new material that can be included in future climatic reconstructions. |
