Report on the preliminary ring inspection of five olive tree samples from Santorini
LAND- ENBOSBOUWECONOMIE ÉCONOMIEAGRICOLEETFORESTIÈRE
Methodology
The sanded and polished stem discs have been studied under a stereo microscope. The wood anatomical nature of the rings has been judged and evaluated as distinct, partially distinct or indistinct. The ring borders have been marked by a pencil and numbered from pith to bark. Some zones of ring wedging and possible very small rings have been indicated on the discs.
Results
Sample OE2
1 distinct
2 partially distinct 3 partially distinct 4 indistinct
5 indistinct
6 partially distinct 7 partially distinct 8 partially distinct 9 indistinct ? 10 indistinct
11 partially distinct 12 partially distinct 13 ring wedging, fading 14 indistinct
15 indistinct
16 partially distinct
Ring counting problematic. Age determination not reliable.
Sample OT
1 partially distinct 2 partially distinct 3 distinct
4 partially distinct 5 partially distinct 6 distinct
7 partially distinct
- possibly 3 very small rings 8 partially distinct
Ring counting problematic
Sample L8
1 fairly distinct 2 distinct
3 distinct
4 partially distinct ? 5 distinct
6 partially distinct ? 7 wedging ring
- small rings possible
Approximative age estimation possible
Sample OAT
1 distinct 2 distinct 3 distinct 4 distinct 5 distinct 6 distinct
7 partially distinct 8 partially distinct 9 partially distinct 10 distinct
11 distinct 12 distinct 13 distinct
Age estimation possible
Sample OE3
1 partially distinct 2 partially distinct 3 partially distinct 4 partially distinct 5 distinct
6 partially distinct 7 distinct
8 partially distinct 9 partially distinct 10 partially distinct 11 partially distinct 12 partially distinct 13 partially distinct 14 partially distinct 15 partially distinct
Age estimation fairly possible
