... explanation is not inherently better than other explanations, but does fit the uniformitarian concept. The bristlecone pine is considered the oldest living thing on earth. By using this tree, a calibration curve of real time vs. calculated time can be made for thousands of years. The process is based on the techniques and theories of tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) which have been developing since the early part of this century. Most people are familiar with this process. Anyone who ever chopped down a small tree or picked up a log to toss into the fireplace may have noticed the rings and counted them to estimate how old the tree was. The process is generally the same as the ...

... atlases, it is a minor Hittite site in Anatolia destroyed at the end of the Late Bronze Age and recently submerged by one of the new Euphrates dams. The latest excavation report Tille Hoyuk 4 (G . Summers, British Institute of Archaeology, Ankara 1993) includes an appendix by P. Kuniholm (pp. 179-190) on the dendrochronology of the oak timbers used in the construction of a gateway. From these timbers a local sequence of ring thicknesses was compiled covering about 200 years prior to the final rebuilding of the gateway (p . 186). Quite a lot of the timbers had final rings close to the end of the sequence and so this was reasonably taken ...
43. The Saint and the Miracle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Saint and the Miracle Phillip Clapham Saint David died in around 589AD as a very old man. He therefore lived through Mike Baillie's dendrochronological anomalies between 536-545AD. He established a monastery with a very strict regime. It was infamously harsh, as was the imposed diet, which consisted of water and herbs - such as cabbage and leeks. These are plants that can withstand low temperatures and traditionally come into culinary use during the winter months. This is significant, as low growth episodes would have led to crop failure and reduced yields of other plants. David's first church, a ...

... . The above leads the author to conclude that There seems to be a measure of intellectual catching-up to be done here .. .. It seems absurd that pharaonic Egypt, which has bequeathed us vast quantities of wood in the form of boats, beams and statues, has fewer radio-carbon dates than any comparable old world culture, and no dendrochronology at all. ' He acknowledges that The Mesopotamian and Egyptian king lists, typically quoted with exact dates for each reign, are really floating chronologies, with no certainly fixed points before the Assyrian period', and specifically, in the case of the Hyksos period, the existence of the fourteenth dynasty has never been verified, and the ...
45. Isotopic Anomalies in Chronometric Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... since the measurement of C14 levels in the millennia-long tree-ring record of the famous Bristlecone Pine. These measurements immediately brought into question the major Uniformitarian assumption behind C14 dating, namely that atmospheric C14 levels had remained constant over the period accessible to the Bristlecone Pine recalibration. Although the secular variation of C14 was established beyond serious questioning by the analysis of dendrochronologically dated growth rings, the Uniformitarian assumption soon reasserted itself in another guise: the variation recorded by the Bristlecone Pine was representative of the C14 fluctuation worldwide, and the recalibrated dates were therefore applicable in the widest Context. Variations in Carbon Isotope Abundances The assumptions underlying radiocarbon dating have been more fully reviewed elsewhere, notably by Renfrew (2 ...

The uranium-thorium dates agree with dendrochronological dates for the last 11,000 years, so are preferred.

49. New Paper on Bronze Age Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Late Bronze Age settlement of Santorini is proof of a particular catastrophe: but is there evidence of wider European calamity? A search for precision beyond that currently available is a frequent aspect of archaeological interpretation. Tensions exist as a result of the need to resolve events on a human time-scale using techniques often incapable of producing such accuracy or precision. Dendrochronology, ice-core analysis and tephrochronology, where data-resolution can be constrained either by annual to sub-annual banding or precise isochrones, can make important contributions to tackling the persistent chronological problems in archaeology. This problem is particularly acute when the events being studied are real, or imagined catastrophes (cf. White & Humphreys 1994). Catastrophes be they the ...
50. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... orthodox archaeological positions. Some SIS stalwarts are aware of the dilemma and still wish to embrace the spirit of Ages in Chaos and the drama of Velikovsky. The New Chronology has been washed clean of catastrophism but retains its connections with Biblical chronology and numbers. The revisionists are critical of modern scientific dating methods - the Bible takes precedence. However dendrochronology has revealed a series of frost signatures that dovetail nicely into the conventional lines of cultural division. The dates are different but the divisions perfectly match the Early, Middle and Late Bronze eras, which in turn correspond to and accurately mirror the rise and fall of dynasties in the ancient world. In Egypt the boundaries of the Predynastic, ...
