The August meeting will be held on Monday the 19th at 6:30pm at the Illinois State Museum. Our speaker will be Dr. Glen Freimuth giving a talk titled " Dendrochronology: Applications in Historic and Prehistoric Archaeology".
Dendrochronology, commonly known as tree ring dating, has been in use since the 1920's. The science has broad applications to archaeology, ecology, and climatology. This presentation will discuss the tools used, the collection of cores, the analysis of cores, and one historic application.
As always, please feel free to bring anything for the show and tell.
