Abstract:

excavated woods samples was collected from Laoshan Han Tomb. Material of the top boards of “Huangchang Ticou" were confirmed as Pine ( PinusL.) and Chestnut (Castanea Mill.) two tree species by the anatomic method. Various characteristics of tree ring patterns in Pine were investigated by means of statistical analyses, no correlation among tree ring index series of the sample ls1、ls2、ls3、ls4 and ls6 with the number of tree ring below 50 was discovered. High correlation among tree ring index series of the sample ls5、ls7、ls8 and ls9 with the number of tree rings beyond 70 was showed, the t-value of the correlation coefficients of tree ring index series more than 4.0, it could be concluded that these four samples were from the same area.

Key words: Laoshan Han Tomb, Excavated wood, Tree ring
