Abstract We are reporting the first dendrochronological dating of timber from Tajikistan. Thirty samples were collected from two old buildings from a village located in the western Pamir-Alay; eight cores were taken from temple. Most of the construction wood was juniper species. The object chronologies crossdated well with the previously published chronology based on living juniper trees from western Pamir-Alay. The results of dating revealed that investigated structures are composed of wood coming from several periods. The oldest pieces of wood dated back to the 11th and 12th Centuries. Most timber samples come from the turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries, which were probably the period of intense development of the Artuch village. Besides dating of the wood samples from these historic structures, our investigation provides the opportunity to extend the currently existing regional tree-ring chronology for future climate reconstruction of the Pamir-Alay and High Asia. Dated sequences were assembled into a 1012-year chronology spanning the period 945–2014 C.E. and strengthened the replication of its earliest part (with critical 0.85 EPS value since the beginning of the 13th Century).

塔吉克斯坦木材的首次树木年代学测年——发展千禧年年轮记录的潜力

摘要 我们报告了塔吉克斯坦木材的首次树木年代学测年。从位于帕米尔-阿莱西部一个村庄的两座旧建筑中收集了 30 个样本；八个核心是从寺庙中取出的。大多数建筑木材是杜松树种。这些天体年表与之前发表的基于帕米尔-阿莱西部活杜松树的年表相吻合。测年结果显示，被调查的结构由来自多个时期的木材组成。最古老的木头可以追溯到 11 和 12 世纪。大多数木材样本来自 17 世纪和 18 世纪之交，这可能是 Artuch 村高度发展的时期。除了对这些历史建筑的木材样品进行年代测定外，我们的调查提供了扩展目前存在的区域树轮年表的机会，以用于未来帕米尔-阿莱和亚洲高地的气候重建。过时的序列被组装成跨越公元 945 年至 2014 年的 1012 年年表，并加强了其最早部分的复制（自 13 世纪初以来，EPS 临界值为 0.85）。
