Dendrochronology (from δένδρον, dendron, `tree limb`; χρόνος, khronos, `time`; and -λογία, -logia) or tree-ring dating, is the scientific method of dating based on the analysis of patterns of tree rings, also known as growth rings. Dendrochronology can date the time at which tree rings were formed, in many types of wood, to t...
