DENDROCHRONOLOGY IN THE NORTHEAST:
A RESEARCH TOOL COMES OF AGE.
A Symposium at Historic Deerfield, Deerfield, Massachusetts,
co-sponsored by Historic New England.
Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20, 2005
*
Scientists and scholars of various disciplines will gather to report on
recent advances in dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating studies, in the
Northeast and the development of master chronologies for various species
of trees. Speakers’ topics will include the composition of the region’s
historical forests, the history of dendrochronology studies in the
Northeast, cultural impacts of historical climate variation,
explanations of methodology, regional case studies, and how dating
results are helping to elucidate the region’s architectural and cultural
history. Through the presentations of this symposium it will become
clear that the science of dendrochronology has moved into the mainstream
of analytical tools available for architectural research. The program
will be of interest to dendrochronologists, architectural and cultural
historians, archeologists, preservationists, restoration specialists,
homeowners, and all those interested in the accurate interpretation of
New England’s buildings and the history they reflect.
