Tree-Ring Chronologies of Western North America: California, Eastern Oregon and Northern Great Basin with Procedures Used in the Chronology Development Work Including Users Manuals for Computer Programs COFECHA and ARSTAN

Well replicated tree-ring samples were collected, dated
and measured for California west of the Sierra Nevada,
eastern Oregon and the northern Great Basin. A computer
program was developed and used to check crossdating quality.
Another computer program to generate and analyze tree-ring
chronologies was evaluated, further developed cooperatively
and used to produce chronologies for the dated site
collections.
This report contains these site chronologies in three
versions along with site descriptions and chronology
statistics. Users manuals are included for the two computer
programs. The effect on a chronology of poor crossdating is
discussed, and a study of standardization of tree-ring
measurement series is reported. Some new techniques are
described for processing tree-ring samples.
