“…These samples are often collected from local historical construction wood of unknown origin (Büntgen et al, 2005; Hartl et al, 2022; Klippel et al, 2020; Labuhn et al, 2016; Liu et al, 2009; Schweingruber, 1988; Tegel et al, 2010; Wilson et al, 2005). The determination of the origin of ancient wood, the so‐called dendroprovenancing, is a frequently applied tool to reconstruct trade and transportation routes (Bonde et al, 1997; Daly & Tyers, 2022; Linderholm et al, 2021; Shindo & Claude, 2019; Wazny, 2002), to uncover illegal logging (Kagawa & Leavitt, 2010), and determine the origin of artwork or shipwrecks (Bridge, 2011; Brookhouse et al, 2021; Domínguez‐Delmás et al, 2020; Haneca et al, 2005). Classic approaches in dendroclimatology and ‐archaeology consider the correlation of series from unknown origin to a set of existing reference tree‐ring chronologies (Bonde, 1992; Bridge, 2012).…”
