“…Figure 6A-B IV. SAMPLE As it is well known, pine and spruce, have a negative reputation because of the pitch they contain, but when well-seasoned and cleared of all traces of resin, they are perfectly suited for the production of wooden panels for icons [23]. For simulating the moisture below the wood pine (Pinus Pinae) sample, Figure 7, one millilitre of water was depositing, using a syringe, into the area marked by the red rectangle.…”

Wood is a hygroscopic material that is subject to phenomena of water exchange with the external environment. These exchanges can cause dimensional variations and cracks to appear on a macroscopic level. In recent years, the use of terahertz technologies in the field of diagnostics applied to cultural heritage has increased considerably. One of the most important characteristics of terahertz radiation is its sensitivity to water content; this polar liquid strongly absorbs and reflects this radiation. The subject of this study will be the detection of moisture in pine wood samples using a 97 GHz terahertz imaging system.

“…Using the above-mentioned long chronologies, and also those from Belarus (Yermokhin, 2012), a number of unique monuments were dated, such as the Landskrona Fortress in St. Petersburg (1300 CE, unpublished), the chapel of Cyril (1510s CE, rebuilt in 1557 CE) and the Church of the Ordination (1778 CE) in the Cyril-Belozersky monastery (Matskovsky, 2014), the Church of St. Andrew on the Zayatsky Island of the Solovetsky Archipelago (1699 CE, Matskovsky et al, 2013), a number of wooden churches around Onega lake (Karpukhin et al, 2019) and Arkhangelsk region. The Vologda chronology was used for the dating of several medieval icons, including Novgorod icon "The Mother of God Dexiocratussa" (1410 CE) (Voronin et al, 2015;Matskovsky et al, 2016a;Dolgikh et al, 2017).…”

In this review, we have focused on the following key points: (1) living trees in European Russia and their climatic sensitivity. Species suitable for tree-ring analyses, their age limits, spatial distribution of temperature- and drought-sensitive trees, and the available tree-ring chronologies. (2) Extension of the living-tree chronologies using archeological and architectural samples. Dendrochronological dating of archeological and cultural monuments. (3) Tree-ring-based climatic reconstructions in European Russia. European Russia drought atlas. (4) Climatic and environmental reconstructions in the Northern Caucasus. (5) Dendroecology. We also briefly summarized the problems and prospects of tree-ring research in European Russia.
