1. Forest history

2. Shipwrecks and archaeological structures

3. Furniture and works of art

• (e.g. tree-ring studies on panel paintings, chests, statues and sculptures, or the complete oeuvres of old masters, …)

4. Built heritage

• (e.g. tree-ring studies on roof constructions, log cabins, old temple complexes, …)

5. Evidence of timber trade and transport

• (e.g. tree-ring based provenance analysis, trade marks on ancient timbers, historical evidence of timber trade, overseas transport of wood, …)

6. Novel methods for dating and provenance analysis

• (e.g. stable isotope analysis, aDNA, wood anatomical variables, techniques for wood species identification, …)

7. Non-invasive techniques for the study of wooden cultural heritage

• (e.g. imaging techniques for tree-ring studies, 3D-µCT scanning, AI, …)
