2. A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents REVIEWS A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie Batsford, London, 1995 This is a book with a broad spectrum of appeal. It will interest students of the history of science; it is essential reading for those who wish to learn more about dendrochronology, of prime importance to those whose passion is chronology or the application of chronological techniques, and a gold mine for catastrophists of all persuasions. Historians have much to learn from its pages, especially art historians, Dark Age historians and Egyptologists, though whether they will rise ...
3. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... H. Stiebing, Jr., in his criticism of Gunnar Heinsohn's revised chronology, has offered his support of these methods as an assurance of evidence good enough to support the established chronology. (3 ) What Stiebing offers, in part, to refute the historical revisions, are four scientific dating methods: radiocarbon (C-14) dating, dendrochronology, thermoluminescence and stratigraphy. These methodologies are, according to Stiebing, in full agreement with the established chronology and, therefore, cannot be invoked to support major revisions of ancient history. I will show that Stiebing's assurances are clearly unsupported by the evidence. The fundamental experimental evidence presented by investigators in each of these fields tells a much ...
4. The present state of Radiocarbon Dating [Articles]
... been re-used and they were originally for buildings several hundred years older than the building they are now incorporated in and they have been re-used when the older building was pulled down. So unfortunately we have to view large numbers of our radiocarbon dates with extreme suspicion. Coming back to this question of calibration, for this we need to look at dendrochronology, tree ring dating. It was realized around the time of Leonardo da Vinci- he realized it actually- that trees contained annual growth rings and that the width of these rings varied according to the weather in any given year. Charles Babbage, the computer pioneer, realized the significance of potential cross-dating of different trees by using the ...
5. Decades Of Darkness And Dendrochronology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 4 (1999) Home | Issue Contents PART IV Decades Of Darkness And Dendrochronology Charles Ginenthal "And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" John I:1 In Part 3 of Mewhinney's paper he raises an important issue related to Velikovsky's thesis, namely decades of darkness: `Bristle cone pines are hardy trees but there is not the slightest reason to believe that they could survive such conditions as Velikovsky describes. In any case, it is not just a question of bristle cone pines. `By cross-matching records from nearby sites, dendrochronologists in western Europe have built up a continuous overlapping master chronology of ...
6. The Answer to Clapham's Question: Revise! [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... waters or for other reasons.51 Finally, despite the largely ignored old wood and Nile contamination problems, uncalibrated Egyptian radiocarbon dates are typically late. They are ostensibly brought into line with the conventional chronology by the application of tree-ring based calibrations of several hundred years. But I have shown substantial reasons to question the validity of the European oak dendrochronologies upon which the calibrations depend.52 Other than the correspondence between the European oak and Bristlecone pine calibrations, no solid scientific evidence permits insistence that the Bristlecone pine calibrations apply beyond the White Mountains of California. Until the European oak dendrochronologies were developed, scientists were uncertain whether the Bristlecone pine calibrations had worldwide application. Indeed, the European ...
7. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1997) pp. 26707-23. On pp. 26713-4 the difference between the GRIP and GISP2 cores in the second millennium BC is noted and it is implied that GISP2 may be wrong. At present it seems that we can not rely on anything from ice-cores in the BC period but the on-going research is very interesting. Since the 1628 BC dendrochronology event now looks unlikely to relate to Thera, the scientific and archaeological communities will presumably have to accept a date c. 1525BC (time of Ahmose, first pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty) as has long been advocated by Peter Warren (e .g . JACF 4 pp. 29-29) and others (e .g . Foster ...
8. The Great Wave by David Hacket Fischer [Journals] [SIS Review]
... while the other interregnum coincided with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, which sucked up surplus labour. The author also draws a connection with climate - the Little Ice Ages, famines and bad harvests. The importance of this book, it seems to me, is that the dates he assigns to these price changes actually match dates highlighted by dendrochronological blips in the weather (cf. Mike Baillie, A Slice Through Time, Batsford, 1996). Clearly, something was happening which affected prices and crop yields. Peasant revolts against millers and bakers, property owning elites and the great abbeys and monastic estates were a quite common consequence. Climate and price changes also affected music, ...
9. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , President of the Institute for Nautical Archaeology, tells me that he personally excavated a bronze age' shipwreck and dated it around 1,300 BC by accepted stratigraphy methods (I assume, pottery-style indicia and the like), and now one of his best students, who has published his work in detail, has dated the wreck by dendrochronology to the same date, and the dendrochronology is "so objective that it is beyond sane dispute." In discussion I get the impression that George has personally checked published conventional Mediterranean dating back to 1,300 BC and believes that it would be impossible to find fault with it in any major way.

10. Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... the independently determined dates enables researchers to formulate a correction factor which they can apply to all further radiocarbon dates. If the dating method used in calibration yields precisely accurate dates, then the radiocarbon method can be calibrated by this means to give absolute, rather than merely relative, dating. The independent dating method most promising for this purpose is dendrochronological (tree-ring) dating of bristlecone pines (3 ). However, the reliability of this method has not been verified (4 ). Moreover, the irregular climatic conditions and orbital changes proposed by Velikovsky would invalidate its primary assumptions, namely, that there will be one and only one ring per year; and that throughout history the ...
