Of all the methods proposed, the dendroarchaeological approach was implemented to better characterize local timber harvesting strategies and forest dynamics in the past. These historical data indicate the widespread use of fir in stands of various ages in local Pyrenean construction, as well as the occasional use of other species. The archaeological survey have focussed on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees which led to the acquisition of 393 tree-ring series from historic timbers of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), deciduous oak (deciduous Quercus), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), pine (Pinus sylvestris type) and poplar (Populus sp.). The samples were extracted from 24 building timbers (Fig. 1) located in the immediate vicinity of current old-growth fir-beech forests (Sabatini et al. 2018, 2021, Larrieu et al. 2023). We successfully cross-dated 57 series from fir trees. 67 short series (less than 50 rings) were also dated but not included in the chronology (see for example: Bridge 2020). The other 269 series remain undated. The dataset has been created for past forest management strategies to produce timber used for historical buildings studies.
