Multi-proxy crossdating extends the longest high-elevation tree-ring chronology from the Mediterranean

Original language description

Annually precise dating is the cornerstone of dendrochronology. The accurate crossdating of relict wood is, however, frequently challenged during early chronology periods when sample replication is typically low. Here we present a multi-proxy approach in which stable carbon (delta 13C) and radiocarbon (14C) isotope data are used to evaluate and correct dating errors in the early period of the longest high-elevation tree-ring chronology from the Mediterranean Basin. The record was initially developed using 878 tree-ring width (TRW) and 192 maximum latewood density (MXD) series from living and relict Bosnian pines (Pinus heldreichii) from Mt. Smolikas in Greece to reconstruct hydroclimate and temperature variability back to the 8th century. New annually resolved and nonpooled delta 13C series now suggest a re-dating of first millennium relict pine samples during a period when sample replication was too low for proper TRW and/or MXD crossdating. The associated correction shifts the start of the Mt. Smolikas chronology from 575 back to 468 CE, a change independently confirmed by wiggle-matching annual 14C data along the 774/775 CE cosmic event. Our study demonstrates the importance of independent age validation for robust chronology development and shows how multi-proxy crossdating can improve dating success during periods of low sample replication.
