IL SITO ARCHEOLOGICO ROMANO SOMMERSO DI LIO PICCOLO (CAVALLINO/TREPORTI) – VENEZIA: ANALISI DENDROCRONOLOGICA

Dendrochronology was applied to wooden parts of Roman structures from the submerged archaeological site of Lio Piccolo in the northern lagoon of Venice, in the municipality of Cavallino-Treporti. The archaeological excavation conducted by the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice highlighted submerged structures of an oyster farming tank with wooden parts. Six samples of the pool’s boards and poles from a palisade were subjected to dendrochronological analysis: an oak (Quercus sp.) mean curve was constructed which is 82 years long whose last ring dates back to the year 9 AD. This date confirms the radiocarbon dating.
