Description
A timber sample from a stolp farmhouse at Westeinde 239 in Berkhout, Netherlands, was analyzed for dendrochronological research. The sample is a cross-section of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) with the wan edge present, and its last tree ring dates to 1607, indicating a felling interval in autumn/winter 1607/08. The farmhouse was likely constructed in 1608, and the dataset was authored by Sjoerd van Daalen and harvested by DataverseNL.
