Regensburg Historical Timber Tree-Ring Data from 608-563 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives tree-ring parameters from historical timbers found at Auergasse 10-1 in Regensburg, Bavaria. The dataset provides a 45-year chronology from 608 to 563 calendar years before present. It is maintained by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Calibrating regional dendrochronological sequences using the 45-year tree-ring width series.
• Reconstructing historical climate variability in Bavaria from annual tree-ring growth parameters.
• Cross-dating archaeological timber samples from Central Europe against the ITRDB GERM065 reference chronology.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 45-year chronology from 608 to 563 BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Very limited temporal coverage of only 45 years, restricting long-term climate analysis.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single site in Regensburg, Bavaria.
