| Course contents : | The recent progress in the study of historical wood suggest a new approach about the use of this material in cultural heritage (architecture, boats, furniture, art) . This material with diffferent forms and qualities can be observed by archeological and scientifical approachs in old buildings, or archaeological excavations, and in the laboratories: building archaeology, tool traces (traceology), types of joints and tructures, relativ chronology, dendrochronology. This method is the study of annual tree rings in relation with the climate. One application of this is the dendrodatation of felling date, sometimes with the precision of the year and the season. Because the connection between tree ring and climate, other searchers are also concerned by this methodology: foresters, climatologists, specialists of envirronement. Theory and pratice are mixed in this teaching. |
