Abstract
A reliable archaelogical chronology for medieval sites in northwestern Russia depends in part on a refined regional calibration scale for C- 14 dates. We present results of dates on tree-ring series from Novgoro d that show a systematic discrepancy from European calibration curves, and that underline the need for more extensive C-14 dating as the bas is of an extended calibration curve for the region.
