"BELIM"

The "BELIM" masterchronology AD 1001-1970 is described (containing also data for the Master Chronology) in Michael G. L. Baillie: The Belfast Oak Chronology to AD 1001, Tree-Ring Bulletin, vol. 37, 1977 (Geocoord data approximately according to map in the article). It is also available among the East Anglia Incident chronology files. The younger part of this chronology, however, was described in Baillie: A Recently Developed Irish Tree-ring Chronology, Tree-Ring Bulletin, vol. 33, 1973. pp. 15-28.

Two first centuries AD material

The Oak chronology for Ireland is, based on the QUB-material, possible to build continuously and with good quality down to about 100 AD, and before that a rather tiny tail down to 13 BC (The oldest samlpe is QUB:Q218 from Mill Lough). Another complex of Irish chronologies has its young end at 69 BC with the Annaholty Bog (Tipperary). That complex can be dated towards the English Roman time complex, which in its turn is dated towards the continental European roman time complex. The problem is that the quality of the link between the present time chronologies down to about fourth century AD and the whole European roman time complex is of disputable quality. It is based upon the work of Ernst Hollstein and Berndt Becker, but the Hollstein link is proved to be built on chronologies in which erroneously dated samples have been mixed[1] and according to the Becker chronology (Southern Germany) there are no information available about the quality of the critical "Migration period" linkage.[2] Therefore an indisputable link between the Irish AD-chronology and the English Roman time complex would have been very welcome and of great value, but unfortunately this link, so far, is too weak to confirm the date accepted for Roman complex.[3]

The sites in QUB forming the old end of the present time Irish chronology are:

  • Allistragh, AD 39 - 337 (>2 samples from AD 97) (natural, bog oak?)
  • Ballinderry, AD 25 - 618 (>2 samples from AD 110) meta data missing, but possibly anthropogenic remains (and likely the "Ballinderry" in Antrim county)
  • Balloo, AD 17 - 312 (>2 samples from AD 52) (probably bog oaks, found reused in a rather modern building)
  • Teeshan, AD 82 - 581 (>2 samples from AD 144) Crannog
  • Mill Lough, 13 BC - AD 611 (>2 samples from AD 37) (natural, bog oak?)
