Inhaltsangabe

Nash (anthropology, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago) describes dendrochronology assigning precise calendar dates to annual growth rings in trees as a lifesaver for American archaeologists at a time when they had no absolute dating techniques to frame their analysis. They discovered, he says, that cites they had thought to be thousands of years old were in fact much more recent. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
