Tree rings, art, archaeology : proceedings of an international conference /

In 2010 IRPA-KIK organized the Tree Rings, Art, Archaeology conference. The various articles gathered in the proceedings reflect the practices of fifteen European countries. The first objective of the conference was to review the notable advances over the last ten years. The second aim, focused more on the future, was to bring together dendrochronologists and other players in the field - historians, archaeologists and art historians - to discuss the 'Good use of dendrochronology'. The articles successively explore the different facets of the dendrochronological prism.Papers from a conference held in February 10-12, 2010 at Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, Brussels.Includes bibliographical references.Beyond dates : for a global approach in dendrochronology / David Houbrechts and Pascale Fraiture -- Dendrochronology, archaeology and science / Georges Lambert -- La dendrochronologie : de "nouveaux documents" pour l'historien de l'economie medievale? / Jean-Pierre Sosson -- Pt. 1.
