A volcanism-based chronology for ancient China
We investigate a proposal of K.D. Pang and co-workers, who identified ancient Chinese texts that appear to record two major volcanic eruptions. The evidence presented by Pang, and substantial…

Integrated Tree-Ring-Radiocarbon High-Resolution Timeframe to Resolve Earlier Second Millennium BCE Mesopotamian Chronology
TLDR
This work re-dating tree-ring-sequenced 14C time-series for Kültepe and Acemhöyük is compatible only with the so-called Middle Chronology and not with the rival High, Low or New Chronologies.

Dendrochemical Evidence of the 1781 Eruption of Mount Hood, Oregon
Dendrochronological responses to an eruption of Mount Hood, Oregon, including new dendrochemical evidence, are documented here. Mount Hood, a stratovolcano of the Cascade Volcanic Arc (Fig. 1a), is…
Volcanoes, ice-cores and tree-rings: one story or two?
Good archaeology relies on ever more precise dates – obtainable, notably, from ice-cores and dendrochronology. These each provide year-by-year sequences, but they must be anchored at some point to…

Multiple Dendrochronological Signals Indicate the Eruption of ParíCutin Volcano, Michoacán, Mexico
Abstract The eruption of Parícutin (1943–1952), a cinder cone volcano in Michoacán, Mexico, caused dendrochronological and dendrochemical responses that might be useful as general dating tools for…
Proposed re‐dating of the European ice core chronology by seven years prior to the 7th century AD
Progress in the study of past climate change requires integration of historical documentation, tree‐ring data and ice‐core chemistry. Larsen et al. (2008) re‐evaluate volcanic acid signals in the…
