Figure 3

Transverse section of olive tree trunk, cut down in 2013 in Zippori, northern Israel, with sampling points for radiocarbon marked on cross section with small white dots (to scale of the 2.8 mm samples). Near each dot is the sample number (white font on gray circle) and the calibrated calendar years. Two radii are indicated with white lines along the sub-section to the bottom right of the figure, with the number of growth rings identified indicated (radius 1 n = 71; radius 2 n = 42). © Weizmann Institute of Science.
