Szósty w drugim roku publiczny wykład (w języku angielskim) organizowany przez europejskie projekty IPERION HS i ERIHS IP w ramach HS Academy tym razem poświęcony będzie zastosowaniu metody dendrochronologii w badaniach obiektów zabytkowych.
Zaprezentowany zostanie w internecie przez dr Pascal Fraiture, kierowniczkę laboratorium dendrochronologii Królewskiego Instytutu Dziedzictwa Kulturowego w Brukseli (KIK-IRPA) oraz przez dr Vincenta Labbas aktualnie zatrudnionego w projekcie FED-tWIN “Deep in Heritage” w czwartek 28 marca 2024 o godz. 15:00 (CET).
Dendrochronology: Tree Rings, Art, Archaeology
Abstract:
We’ll be taking a practical look at how it can be applied to cultural heritage, with particular emphasis on dating, reliability and accuracy. The search for a date remains the best-known aim of the discipline. Dendroarchaeology, on the other hand, involves reconstructing the complex history of a building, an archaeological site or a work of art using the wood that has come down to us and how it was transformed by past societies. But wood is also a living material. Throughout its life, it records in its rings events of both natural and man-made origin that have occurred in its environment.
Characterising this environment, the way in which it was exploited and, above all, locating it, is a major challenge in dendro-archaeological research to understand the socio-ecosystems of the past.
You will learn
- How does the method work
- What are its advantages and limitations (dating and provenancing purposes)
- Which needs are necessary for a successful dendrochronological study
Key topics we’ll cover
- Principles of dendrochronology (dendro-archaeology)
- Methods for recording and dating tree rings
- The precision degree of dating and provenancing purposes
- Potentials and future frontiers of the discipline
