From: Olive shrub buried on Therasia supports a mid-16th century BCE date for the Thera eruption
Enlarged photo-micrographs of sub-samples of the Therasia olive shrub showing approximate growth increment counts and inherent difficulties in interpreting growth patterns. Red stars show radiocarbon sampling locations. 88-3 and the bark of 88-2 produced the youngest radiocarbon dates from the shrub as a whole at the time of death. Image credit: Pearson/Siekacz.
