<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dear colleagues, <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">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? <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I sound to myself like a complete amateur. Please help. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">thank you, yours sincerly, Selena <br clear="all"></div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Selena Vitezović <br></div><div>Arheološki institut <br></div><div><a href="http://www.ai.ac.rs" target="_blank">www.ai.ac.rs</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
