Dendroarchaeology has been an invaluable resource in aiding management agencies with data that can authenticate or contest traditional dates of construction for historic log structures. Tipton-Haynes is a well-documented state historic site in East Tennessee with two log structures thought to be...

The lands including Cave Spring and most of northwest Georgia were held by the Cherokee until Cherokee removal in 1838. In 2010, a two-story pine structure that was encased inside the Green Hotel in downtown Cave Spring, Georgia, was revealed during renovation. Local Cave Spring historians insist...

During May 2013, the Bear Paw State Natural Area near Boone, North Carolina acquired an 11.5 ha tract of land and two log cabins from David Wray of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Work was soon underway to determine the historical nature of these two buildings and to evaluate them for consideration...

Historical dendroarchaeology uses annual tree-ring widths varied by climate to crossdate structures of potential historical significance. In the Southeastern U.S. Piedmont specifically, crossdating these structures can lead to a broader historical interpretation during and after the colonial era....

Historians believe that the main two-story structure called Sabine Hill at the Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area in Elizabethton, Tennessee represents the house possibly built by General Nathaniel Taylor beginning around 1814 or 1815. We conducted a dendrochronological investigation on hewn logs...

We sampled Rocky Mountain junipers (RMJ) to produce a multi-century tree-ring chronology from a relict lava flow, the Paxton Springs Malpais (PAX), in the Zuni Mountains of western New Mexico. Our objective was to assess crossdating potential for RMJ growing on the volcanic badlands of the region,...

Drought and mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) outbreaks have affected millions of hectares of high-elevation conifer forests in the Northern Rocky Mountains during the past century. Little research has examined the distinction between mountain pine beetle outbreaks and climatic ...

The Timothy and Lucretia (Jones) Warner Homestead is located in Brighton, Michigan. For over eight years, a descendant of the Warner family has been excavating the site and restoring the Greek Revival house located on the property. Although already listed on the National Register of Historic Places ...

The King site is a Late Mississippian (ca. 1400-1540 CE) aboriginal town located in northwestern Georgia along the Coosa River associated with the Coosa Chiefdom. The site was settled ca. 1530 but was occupied for perhaps only 50 years or so based on the lack of horizontal stratigraphy. The site...

We investigated the climatic sensitivity of oak species across a wide elevation range in the southern Appalachian Mountains, an area where greater knowledge of oak sensitivity is desired. We developed three tree-ring chronologies for climatic analyses from oak cores taken from the Jefferson...
