本文探讨了树木年代学数据从苏格兰建筑物的代理证据，它提供了木材贸易和条件的林地资源在几个世纪的审查。在这一时期，用于建造高层建筑的大部分木材是橡木或松木，主要从斯堪的纳维亚半岛和波罗的海东部接壤的国家进口。对苏格兰木材进口的文件记录进行了审查，并与木材本身的实物证据进行了比较。在此期间，当地落叶林地的状况很差，这反映在树木年代学数据中，并解释了进口木材占主导地位的原因。虽然本地苏格兰松树有很长的历史，国内使用，开发升级，从17世纪，有更多的松树在苏格兰建筑物的后中世纪的日期，进口和本地，和困难和成功的识别本地松树在建筑物进行了讨论。对于建筑历史学家和考古学家来说，木材的砍伐日期和建筑物的建造之间的关系对于树木年代学数据的解释至关重要。影响这种关系的问题，调味，运输时间，储存和回收都是在苏格兰的背景下考虑的。
This paper examines the dendrochronological data from Scottish buildings in terms of the proxy evidence it provides for the timber trade and condition of the woodland resource in the centuries under review. The bulk of the timber used in the construction of high status buildings during this period was either oak or pine, imported mainly from Scandinavia and the countries bordering the eastern Baltic. The documentary record for timber imports in Scotland is examined and compared with the physical evidence from the timbers themselves. The poor state of the native deciduous woodlands during this period is reflected in the dendrochronological data and explains the predominance of imported timber. While native Scottish pine has a long history of domestic use, exploitation escalated from the 17th century; There is much more pine in Scottish buildings of post-medieval date, both imported and native, and the difficulties and successes in identifying native pine in buildings is discussed. For the architectural historian and archaeologist, the relationship between the felling date of the timber and the construction of the building is critical to the interpretation of dendrochronological data. The issues which bear upon that relationship, seasoning, transportation times, stockpiling and recycling are considered in a Scottish context.
