Abstract
The Hohenheim Tree-Ring Laboratory has extended the Holocene oak tree-ring chronology back to prehistoric times by analyses of subfossil tree trunks from gravel deposits along the rivers of central Europe. Hundreds of subfossil oaks can be collected each year because of widespread gravel quarrying. Despite this nearly continuous source of samples (at present, 2200 trees are analyzed), even within these deposits some limitations do exist in linking together a Holocene tree-ring sequence.Keywords
