  • Older Dryas spruce forest

These are samples from the collection that Hugh Ilits made in 1958 from an excavation along Nicolet Road in Green Bay, WI. The wood had been stored at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

Crossdated tree-ring series of this site contributed to a 510-year composite tree-ring record of the Green Bay area overlapping tree rings from five locations dated to the Older Dryas (see plot below).

 

Tentative overlap of spruce tree rings from the best-fit five sites near Green Bay, NE Wisconsin dated between ca. 14,500 and 14,000 cal yrs BP (Older Dryas). The Green Bay site chronology (labeled as GBHI) is shown with pink line. Color represents different site tree-ring chronologies that can be found in other sections of this website. Upper plot shows site chronology sample depths and lower plot is tree-ring index curves.
