Dendrochronology (cf Reimer et al. 2013, 1934)

a) Sample identifiers (Dendro-Lab Key-code): BINZ0026, BINZ0073
b) Sample certainly derives from a single tree (Y/N): Y
c) Site: Binz, Zürich / Switzerland N 47° 21' 48.09'' E 8° 30' 45.64'' 432m asl
d) Object type: subfossil wood
e) Preservation: Dry
f) Sample type (e.g. core or slice): slice
g) Species: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
h) No of rings: 131 (BINZ0026), 263 (BINZ0073)
i) Pith (Y/N): N
j) Bark (Y/N): N
k) Waney edge: N
l) Sapwood (Y/N): Y
m) Methodology used for dating:
Dating was done by multiple comparisons of the time series in question with the regional master sequences and single trees. The candidate for cross-dating is tested in every possible synchronous position with each master chronology and single floating trees statistically using t-values and Gleichläufigkeit indices (Baillie and Pilcher, 1973) in TSAPWin (Professional, version 4.80ff) and visually applying logarithmic scaling, which makes comparison of series easier. Those positions that produce results above a given threshold (defined individually) are noted in a table.
n) Dated individually (Y/N): Y
Intra-site/phase cross-matching with (Lab-Keycodes, relative positions, Mean curve identifier): NONE

Single curve key code	relative position	Mean curve
BINZ0026	12648 - 12518 approx. BP	ZHYD-1
BINZ0073	12613 - 12351 approx. BP	ZHYD-1

Series	Ref	Date (approx. BP)	tBP	Glk%	over-lap		Public
BINZ0026	ZHYD-1	12648 - 12518	6.1	69	131	ZHYD-1 = YD chronology from Zurich, Switzerland (n=14)	No
BINZ0073	ZHYD-1	12613- 12351	5.3	63	263	ZHYD-1 = YD chronology from Zurich, Switzerland (n=14)	No
