  • ABSTRACT

  • Archaeological wood samples found in the lake of Charavines (Isère, France) were analysed with dendroclimatical methods. Two species were found: The Beech (Fagus sylvatica) and the White Fir (Abies alba). The trees were cut with a lag of 6 years, and both chronologies show similar variations, suggesting that the trees were growing in the same site.
