The last I've read, the world-wide tree-ring record presently is 10,000 years long.

"...comparing growth patterns in tree trunks to date past events or climate changes."

Good thing they're not using the data purely as a treemometer, otherwise we'd have GLOBAL warming as opposed to (the sure evidence of) climate change.

Good article. Thanks.

likely occurring in the late 17th century B.C.

It's nice to see someone using "B.C.", instead of the politically correct and Christophobic "B.C.E.".

Personally, I'm an atheist. But until someone starts using some number other than 2007 for this year, then it's "B.C" and "A.D.".

I kinda assumed that they were doing this all along. It seems like an obvious tool to date known geological events and weather trends.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

most likely occurring in the late 17th century B.C., 100 years earlier than previously believed.

That puts it over 30 year later the the autumn 1628 BC date Charles Pellegrino claimed.

I’ve read a few threads where some folks go on and on about how this radio carbon dating is flawed.

Someone needs to ping few of those posters to get their reaction to this news.

Similar techniques used on wood buried beneath volcanic ash allowed Manning and others to date the Santorini volcanic eruption, one of the largest in the last 10,000 years, as most likely occurring in the late 17th century B.C., 100 years earlier than previously believed. This supports Mike Baillie's claim of 1620 BC.

What would be a real scream is if they started finding overlaps with some of the petrified forests in the American West.

[CholeraJoe]

Ancient wood?

I...er...resemble that remark.
