Becker, "An 11,000-Year German Oak and Pine Dendrochronology for Radiocarbon Calibration," Radiocarbon 35:1 (1993) 201-13. For a recent archaeological application which typifies the uses of the method see B. Schmidt, H. Köhren-Jansen, and K. Freckmann, Kleine Hausgeschichte der Mosellandschaft (Köln 1990).

Wazny, "Dendrochronological Analyses of Paintings of Gdansk Painters of the 15th to the 17th Century," Dendrochronologia 9 (1991) 181-91.
   
5. As of spring 1995, this chronology of the first millennium extends back to A.D. 362. The wood from Amorium, as well as wood from sixteen other sites in Greece and Turkey, has been linked together to add 500+ years to this problem area in our chronology.
