The current study presents the results of the first dendrochronological survey performed over the East Aegean island of Symi. Research Highlights: Dendrochronological research of the East Aegean region is of paramount importance since dendrochronological data from the region, and especially the islands, are still limited. Background and Objectives: The main aim of the study is to explore the dendrochronological potential of the island, focusing on the dating of historical wood and buildings as well as dendroprovenancing. Materials and Methods: A total of 57 wood samples were collected from historical timber from windmills and architectural elements, including doors and warehouse planks, while 68 cores were collected from the three dominant tree species of the island—Cupressus sempervirens, Pinus brutia, and Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis—in an attempt to develop local reference chronologies that could be useful in dating historical timber Results: Of the historical timber, at least nine different species have been detected, with conifers representing the majority of the collected material. In total, 56% of the dendroarchaeological samples, belonging to four different species, were dated absolutely. According to cross-dating and dendroprovenancing results, Pinus nigra, Cedrus sp., and Quercus sp. represent timber imported from present-day Turkey while the fir samples collected from the windmills originate from Central Europe. The use of local timber is also highly probable although it could not be confirmed by the reference chronologies developed for the three dominant tree species of the island. Conclusions: The results of the study reveal the dendrochronological potential of the island from both dendroarchaeological and dendroecological perspectives. The finding that most of the wood was imported mainly from Turkey highlights the importance of timber trade with the Turkish mainland during the mid-18th and 19th centuries. Chronologies developed from living trees could be used in future studies for dating historical material while further research would increase our understanding of past timber trade and the island’s history.

爱琴海的树木和树木:锡米岛的树木年代学调查

本研究显示了对东爱琴海西米岛进行的第一次树轮年代学调查的结果。研究重点:东爱琴海地区的树木年代学研究至关重要,因为该地区(尤其是岛屿)的树木年代学数据仍然有限。背景与目的:该研究的主要目的是探索该岛的树状年代学潜力,重点是历史木材和建筑物的年代以及树状修整。材料和方法:从风车和建筑元素(包括门和仓库木板)的历史木材中总共采集了57个木材样品,而从该岛的三种优势树种-Cupressus sempervirens松树松栎伊萨伯斯亚种。macrolepis —试图开发出可用于对历史木材进行年代测年的当地参考年表结果:在历史木材中,至少检测到9种不同的树种,其中针叶树代表了所收集材料的大部分。总体而言,属于四个不同物种的树木考古学样本中有56%绝对标明日期。根据交叉约会和树露整理的结果,黑松雪松sp。代表从当今土耳其进口的木材,而从风车中收集的冷杉样品则来自中欧。尽管无法为岛上三种优势树种开发的参考年代学方法证实了这种可能性,但当地木材的使用也是极有可能的。结论:研究结果从树木考古学和树木生态学的角度揭示了该岛的树木年代学潜力。大部分木材主要是从土耳其进口的发现凸显了在18世纪中叶和19世纪与土耳其大陆进行木材贸易的重要性。从活树发展而来的年代学可用于将来的研究中,以便对历史材料进行年代定性,而进一步的研究将增进我们对过去木材贸易和岛上历史的了解。
