Dendrochronology, the science of assigning precise calendar dates to annual growth rings in trees, provided accurate dates at a time when North American archaeologists had no absolute dating techniques available to guide their analyses. Time, Trees, and Prehistory examines the growth, development, application, and interpretive implications of North American archaeological tree-ring dating from 1914 to 1950. The development of dendrochronology forced archaeologists to radically revise their understanding of the prehistoric past, compressing by nearly fifty percent the time scale of the archaeological record. Basketmaker sites, for instance, were once thought to be four thousand years old; tree-ring application demonstrated that these sites dated well into the present millennium. Classic sites in Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde were believed occupied for nearly a thousand years, but tree-ring dates demonstrated that such sites were often built, occupied, and abandoned in just over a century. Other similar changes in temporal scale forced archaeologists to reconsider their interpretations of the rate of prehistoric cultural change, population growth, and the degree of social and political complexity in the Southwest. Time, Trees, and Prehistory examines archaeological practices of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s and demonstrates that tree-ring dating set the stage that enabled revolutionary developments in archaeological method and theory in succeeding decades.

Since World War II, there has been tremendous success in the development of new methods for dating artifacts; the so-called `radiocarbon revolution' was only the first such discovery. The increasing accuracy of the various new techniques has brought about major changes in archaeological research strategies. This important new text compiles the work of some of today's most innovative archaeologists who summarize progress in their respective techniques over the last 30 years - with an emphasis on developments of the last five - and the status of current research.

Hillslopes cover much of the Earth’s surface, and mass movement is one of the main ways hillslopes re-adjust their profiles in response to the changing climate. Over the next few decades, the impacts of climate changes on mass movements are predicted to be pronounced at high latitudes where temperatures are warming rapidly, permafrost is thawing, and precipitation is increasing. More frequent mass movements have the potential to threaten critical infrastructure in Interior Alaska, particularly in areas of steep slopes and discontinuous permafrost like the Alaska Range. With these concerns in mind, I investigated the dynamics of a complex landslide that is encroaching on the Parks Highway near Slate Creek along the northern front of the Alaska Range. I used dendrochronology to document the extent and timing of this landslide’s movements over the past century. To quantify general and seasonal rates of movement, I analyzed aerial photography and LiDAR imagery and obtained geographical positional measurements on a network of datum points established on the landslide’s surface. I sought to test the hypothesis that climate controls the activity of the Slate Creek Landslide by comparing dendrochronology and rate-of-movement data to weather records. Results indicate that different parts of the landslide are moving at rates ranging from 0.2 cm/year to 8m/year. Dendrochronological data indicate there were periods of enhanced landslide movement occurring in 1967, 1973, 1977, 1980, and 2017. It remains unclear what triggered the initiation of this landslide and what factors have controlled its recent movement rates. Possibilities include disturbance of the landslide’s toe, periods of increased precipitation, a past wildfire, permafrost thaw, or some combination of these factors.
