Abstract Klaipėda is a town in western Lithuania on the Baltic Sea coast. Oak timber was actively used to construct buildings in this town until the 17th century. Archaeological investigations began in Klaipėda’s old town in 1979, but it has not been possible to use oak timbers for dating due to the lack of regional chronologies. The goal of this study was to fill this gap by developing a well-replicated oak chronology from timber collected in Klaipėda between 1979 and 1987. The resulting oak chronology from Klaipėda spans 306 years from 1247 to 1552 and includes 62 oak timber cross-sections. The study suggests that the timber was felled in the same local woodland, and that tree-ring widths series from Klaipėda are temperature-sensitive. The negative pointer years mostly coincide with negative anomalies of reconstructed April‒September temperature from elsewhere in Europe. The constructed chronology was compared with local chronologies (Vilquro, Smarhon, Gdansk) and with oak chronologies made from imported oak timber of southeast Baltic origin (Baltic 1–3, Dutch). We assessed whether it is possible to determine the origins of the Baltic 1, Baltic 3 and Dutch oak chronologies compiled from imported timber. Based on available chronologies, it could be hypothesised that Baltic 1 and Dutch chronologies are originated from western Lithuania and Baltic 3 from eastern Lithuania.

立陶宛克莱佩达的中世纪橡木年表

摘要 克莱佩达是立陶宛西部波罗的海沿岸的一个小镇。直到 17 世纪，橡木才被积极用于建造这座城镇的建筑。考古调查于 1979 年在克莱佩达的老城区开始，但由于缺乏地区年表，一直无法使用橡木进行年代测定。这项研究的目标是通过从 1979 年至 1987 年间在克莱佩达收集的木材开发一个复制良好的橡木年表来填补这一空白。由此产生的来自克莱佩达的橡木年表跨越了从 1247 年到 1552 年的 306 年，包括 62 个橡木木材的横截面。该研究表明，这些木材是在同一片当地林地中砍伐的，并且来自克莱佩达的树轮宽度系列对温度敏感。负指针年大多与欧洲其他地区重建的 4-9 月温度的负异常重合。将构建的年表与当地年表（Vilquro、Smarhon、格但斯克）和由波罗的海东南部进口橡木制成的橡木年表（波罗的海 1-3，荷兰）进行比较。我们评估了是否可以确定由进口木材编制的波罗的海 1、波罗的海 3 和荷兰橡木年表的起源。根据现有的年表，可以假设波罗的海 1 和荷兰年表起源于立陶宛西部，波罗的海 3 起源于立陶宛东部。荷兰语）。我们评估了是否可以确定由进口木材编制的波罗的海 1、波罗的海 3 和荷兰橡木年表的起源。根据现有的年表，可以假设波罗的海 1 和荷兰年表起源于立陶宛西部，波罗的海 3 起源于立陶宛东部。荷兰语）。我们评估了是否可以确定由进口木材编制的波罗的海 1、波罗的海 3 和荷兰橡木年表的起源。根据现有的年表，可以假设波罗的海 1 和荷兰年表起源于立陶宛西部，波罗的海 3 起源于立陶宛东部。
