This is the first addition to the Archaeological Science framework since its publication in 2012, and offers a deeper understanding of the significance of dendrochronology in Scottish archaeology and beyond. 

The framework explores the intricate applications of denrochronology under headings including Dendroecology, Woodland History and Dendroclimatology. Each chapter also highlights key research questions and recommendations for future researchers.

We’d like to extend our thanks and congratulations to the authors and contributors of the framework, which was created as a collaborative project between Dendrochronicle, Forest Research, AOC Archaeology Group, University of St Andrews and Swansea University. The project was proudly sponsored by Forestry and Land Scotland and Historic Environment Scotland.
