摘要

Barczewko (German: Alt Wartenburg) is a village in northeastern Poland that vanished in 1354 due to Lithuanian invasion, sharing the fate of lost cities. A hill called the “Old City” preserves memories of this event and contains a rich deposit of early urban relics, including artefacts, remains of a large fire, and a cemetery of early settlers and victims. This site is a classic ‘Pompeian case’ in archaeology, where a sudden, well-dated event provides valuable insights into the era. The precise fire destruction date and the city’s brief existence offer excellent reference points for dendrochronology. Researchers aim to compare dendrochronological analysis with historical records, demonstrating the method’s ability to establish absolute dates. The local oak chronology spans 253 years (1081–1333) and is among the longest developed solely from charred wood, showcasing dendrochronology’s effectiveness in dating short-term historical events.
