Ancient tree rings are a hidden archive of droughts, solar storms, and human history, and scientists say some can date events to the exact year
Ancient tree rings serve as a meticulous year-by-year archive of history. They capture significant environmental changes, such as periods of drought and fluctuations in solar activity. By employing the technique of crossdating, researchers can trace chronologies back for centuries. A notable solar event has even provided an exact prehistoric date for a settlement, highlighting how combined records illustrate climate shifts and their effects on human societies.
