Abstract: The extension of the bristlecone pine chronology, which is, thus far, the only complete tree-ring-dated series that extends beyond 6000 bc and which is used for the calibration of radiocarbon dates, has been going on over the past 22 years, that is, ever since Schulman (1956; 1958) established the extremely old ages of the bristlecone pine. The few people in this world who search for very old wood samples to extend a dendrochronology may appreciate a method of establishing quickly the approximate ages of the samples.
