Trees

Recently Cornell Archaeologists have been studying old tree rings and Ancient wood. The scientists are using dendrochronology to examine the trees. Dendrochronology happens to be the study of comparing growth patterns in the tree trunks to date past events or climate changes. Cornell's lab holds more than 40,000 tree trunk samples.I find it so interesting because it goes further in science with dating what has happened and where. For example, they can precisely date Hammurabi, when Santorini volcano errupted, and the Bronze and Iron Ages. Along with many more recent events.
