In this article, we provide practical and straightforward guidance for the selection and sampling of shipwreck timbers for dendrochronological research. We outline sampling strategies and present informative figures that illustrate how to proceed in a variety of scenarios that archaeologists regularly encounter. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of tree-ring research on these objects, we would urge archaeologists to involve dendrochronologists during the project planning phase to carefully plan and conduct adequate sampling of shipwreck assemblages.

树木年代学研究中沉船木材的选择和取样：实用指南

在本文中，我们为树木年代学研究中的沉船木材的选择和取样提供了实用而直接的指导。我们概述了采样策略并提供了有用的数据，这些数据说明了如何在考古学家经常遇到的各种情况下进行。但是，为了充分利用树木年轮研究这些对象的潜力，我们将敦促考古学家在项目计划阶段让树木年代学家参与其中，以仔细计划并对沉船组合进行足够的采样。
