Аннотация: Charcoal is a common material for radiocarbon dating. Meanwhile, it is underestimated as an object of dendrochronological analysis used to date natural and historical–archaeological events with an accuracy of up to a year. The new approach to charcoal sample preparation developed by the authors makes it possible to remove previous Показать полностьюrestrictions on this fragile material imposed in the dendrochronological studies and to use it as an efficient information source in paleoecology, paleoclimatology, paleogeography, and archaeology. This new method has been applied to construct a 377-year tree-ring chronology using archaeological charcoals from ancient iron-smelting furnaces in the Chuya–Kurai ferrous metallurgy province of the Russian Altai. This tree-ring chronology of charcoal is the first in Russia and the longest in dendrochronological practice throughout the world. Further analysis will provide new information on the nature and archaeological events of the high-mountain region located in the center of Eurasia.
