The Royal Scottish Forestry Society recently awarded the Sir George Campbell Memorial Trophy for the following paper published in their journal: ‘Mills, C M & Crone, A 2012 ‘Dendrochronological evidence for Scotland’s native timber resources over the last 1000 years‘, Scottish Forestry 66, 18-33.
Anne (of AOC Archaeology) and I are both absolutely delighted to receive this award, as you can see in the photo, especially given that the paper is a synthesis of our work done over a very long period in Scottish dendrochronology. We are good at allocating date-spans, but this is work done over a longer time than we care to mention publicly! We are very grateful to RSFS for this trophy which they award annually to what they consider to be the best paper published in their journal that year.
