not dendro derived
[edit]I assumed that the timestamps would be from continuous dendro records. How can this:
"Two Creeks Buried Forest State Natural Area; (the date radiocarbon dated); advances and retreats of the Wisconsin glaciation, but tree life-spans dated to an average of 60–year life-spans"
fit here, the date is a radio-carbon date. The oldest certain dendro date then is c.5k years? Anyone got citations for these things? Pbhj (talk) 13:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Confusing article name
[edit]timestamp seems confusing. This seeems to be a list of datings derived from dendrochronology. Could rename ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Moreover, the article appears to be very poorly sourced. I don't know what the entries in this list mean. What is the year 0 doing on it, for example? (There was no year 0, and I fail to see how it could be a timestamp for anything.) KarlFrei (talk) 18:46, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Removing Lake Bracciano entry
[edit]The 5690 BC date for the earliest occupation of the Neolithic settlement around Lake Bracciano appears to be an approximate Carbon-14 date that has subsequently been misreported in English language publications as a dendrochronological date. See this publication in Italian by the original archeologists. As such I'm removing this entry from the article.
