Aotearoa New Zealand has a rich cultural heritage but dating wooden objects using classic dendrochronology is challenging due to a paucity of master tree-ring width chronologies for species commonly identified in the archaeological record. This paper explores the potential for using a stable isotopic approach to dendrochronology for matai (Prumnopitys taxifolia). A total of six annual stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) series for matai growing in the Pureora Forest Reserve, were analysed and their oxygen isotopes found to exhibit a level of coherence that enabled cross-dating. A provisional chronology covering the period 1930-2018 CE was developed and tested against a sample of matai from the Kauaeranga Valley (200 km to the north of Pureora) and a sample of miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea). Miro is another species common in the cultural archive, but also difficult to date using ring-width dendrochronology. Both samples cross matched at the correct position, but with weaker dating statistics (e.g. Student’s t: 4.26 and 4.11 respectively compared to 6.80 and 5.66 for the non-2018 sampled Pureora matai. These results nevertheless demonstrate the presence of a regional-scale signal which may be developed for future use as a precision dating tool. |
