Dendrochronology can date the time at which tree rings were formed, in many types of wood, to the exact calendar year. This has three main areas of application paleoecology , where it is used to determine certain aspects of past ecology ecologies most prominently climate archaeology , where it is used to date old buildings, etc. and radiocarbon dating , where it is used to calibrate radiocarbon ages see below .

A common type of biofact is a plant seed . A seed can be linked to the species of plant that produced it if massive numbers of seeds of an edible species are found at a site, it may be inferred that that species was being grown for food there. Another type of biofact is an uncarved wooden roof beam. Dendrochronology Dendrochronological analysis of some wood samples can help to determine the date during which a site was occupied.

Bremen cog or Bremer Kogge is a wreck of a Cog ship cog dated to 1380 found in 1962 in Bremen. Today it is displayed at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven . There are also three relatively identical Bremen cog replicas built namely Ubena von Bremen , Hansekogge and Roland von Bremen . On 8 October 1962 during the dredging operations fragments of the ship were found in the Weser River . It turned out to be the remnants of a cog that seems to have sunk before completion. Based on the Dendrochronology dendrochronological analysis of the oak timber from which the cog was built the ship was dated to about 1380 AD. The search for more shipwreck fragments continued until July 1965 and yielded over 2,000 individual pieces of the ship. The fragments were transferred to the German Maritime Museum for preservation. In 1999 after 19 years of reconstruction the preservation was finished and the ship is now on display at the designated Koggenhalle of the German Maritime Museum.
