Dendrochronology of Italian Pile-Dwellings: The Challenge of Filling the Gaps Between 5000 and 1000 BC
摘要
The paper deals with dendrochronological analysis on pile-dwelling[aut]Pile-dwelling sites in northern ItalyItaly. After a brief history of research and a general overview of the chronological framework, the author describes the elaboration of the main regional chronologies based on cross-dated tree-ring series from wood samples obtained from pile-dwelling[aut]Pile-dwelling settlements[aut]Settlement. The site series have been dendrochronologically cross-dated and the chronologies dated by radiocarbon[aut]Radiocarbon wiggle-matching[aut]Wiggle-matching. They belong to the Bronze Age: the timespan of GARDA 1 is 2204–1829 ± 10 cal BC and the timespan of GARDA 3 is 1897–1678 ± 14 cal BC. They allow high-precision dating of building activities in the Bronze Age pile-dwelling[aut]Pile-dwelling villages in the Lake GardaLake Garda region during a period from the 21st to 17th centuries BC, from the 1st phase of the Early Bronze Age[aut]Periods and phasesEarly Bronze Age (EBA1) until the transition between the last phase of the Early Bronze Age[aut]Periods and phasesEarly Bronze Age (EBA2) and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age[aut]Periods and phasesMiddle Bronze Age. Later dendrochronological single-site sequences span from the 16th century until the end of the 14th century BC and highlight asynchronous trends in settling in wetland environments on both sides of the AlpsAlps.
