摘要

Interdisciplinary[aut]Interdisciplinary research on the pile-dwellings[aut]Pile-dwelling in the Ljubljansko barjeLjubljansko Barje/marsh, SloveniaSlovenia, has been carried out, with brief interruptions, since their discovery in 1875. Since 1995 these efforts have been coordinated by the Institute of Archaeology of the ZRC SAZU. Systematic excavations and interdisciplinary[aut]Interdisciplinary research were carried out on prehistoric pile-dwelling[aut]Pile-dwelling sites, and dendrochronology was introduced as a basic method for determining the time frame of their existence. To this end, wood was collected from 16 sites for wood identification, dendrochronology and radiocarbon[aut]Radiocarbon dating. Between 1995 and 2017, nearly 8800 samples of waterlogged wood, mainly from the piles the dwellings were built on, were collected and examined. Approximately 20% of the samples were oak[aut]Plant species and fruitoak ( sp.)
