Archaeological Tree-Ring Dates from Wetherill Mesa

Contains: References, Indices for Four Directional Cores from SOT-1 to -6, Douglas-fir Indices for Climatic Analysis, Composite Species Indices for all Archaeological Specimens from Wetherill Mesa, Juniper Indices for Wetherill Mesa Archaeological Sites (A.D. 301-1274), Pinyon Pine Indices for Wetherill Mesa Archaeological Sites (A.D. 161-355; 486-1278), Douglas-fir Indices for Wetherill Mesa Archaeological Sites (A.D. 435-1276), Ponderosa Pine Indices for Wetherill Mesa Archaelogical Sites (A.D. 1060-1269) / The 1,916 wood and charcoal specimens obtained from five years of survey and excavations on Wetherill Mesa produced 501 tree-ring dates. The dated specimens filled a gap between A.D. 674 and 733, greatly lengthening the combined species' tree-ring series for Mesa Verde so that it now extends from A.D. 161 to 1280. In addition a very long tree-ring series was established for juniper, a tree rarely dated from Mesa Verde in the past.
