DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL DATING OF THE SUPPORTING PILLARS WOODEN BRIDGES IN HISTORICAL BUKOVINA, ROMANIA
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In Bukovina, north Romania during Austro-Hungarian empire reign, were built wooden bridges representing the connection between communities. Most of the buildings were made of hardwood in the case of supporting pillars in order to offer a higher stability. The lower part of pillars remained the evidence of these buildings, because the top part was damaged in the period of the two world wars. From the wood material identified it was sampled one slice from each piece and dendrochronological analyses were performed to establish the exact period when the trees have been cut. In addition, it was evaluated the possibility that wood used in constructions could be reused since ancient times. Finally, it was established the oak wood provenience and the year when the bridge was built with an error of about 1 year, based on observations of anatomical elements of wood sap. For cross-dating were used various statistical indicators that capture with high finesse the similarity traits between dendrochronological series.
