Instrument

Manufacturer: University of Vienna, Austria
Number of pieces: 1
Year of production: 2003
Usage:

The TimeTable dendrochronological measuring instrument is used for the dating of wood samples from historical, archaeological and fossil finds of wood. Dating is based on the comparison of tree ring series obtained from samples with a standard chronology for each tree species.

Specifications

The TimeTable measuring instrument, produced in Austria, is connected to the computer using a Parser 1.3 subtraction module. PAST32 software is used for the measurement and dating of samples. On the basis of tree ring series it is possible to clarify the environmental aspects in the history of habitats and ecological surveys. The instrument enables the understanding of the long-term dynamics of forest ecosystems, the detection of geomorphological and hydrological changes in habitats (landslides, avalanches, floods, etc.). The equipment is used for basic research, but also for the dating of trees in environmental projects and for dating in heritage preservation. The instrument is often used for the dating of historic structures.
