[Bonetools] piece od advice needed - thanx

[Christian Gates St-Pierre]

I will ask my dendrochronology colleagues to contact you for some advice. You can also contact them directly via they web site (http://www.grdh-dendro.com/). Their web site is in French, but you can communicate with any of them in English.

Dear colleagues, 

I have one not-really-bone tool question. Recently a huge oak, approximately 600 years old, was cut down in western Serbia, because it was an obstacle for highway construction. The public opposed, of course, in vain, of course, but that is not the issue here. Since the oak was approx, 600 years old, me and some of my colleagues thought perhaps samples can be taken for dendrochronology comparisions. We do not have dendrochronology lab or anything of a kind here (in SE Europe wooden stuff are very very rarely preserved in archaeological record), so I need piece of advice - is worth a trouble asking for samples? Who and how to take them? And probably most important - if we take samples, then what? 
I sound to myself like a complete amateur. Please help. 

thank you, yours sincerly, Selena
