Sestavení historické části regionální dubové standardní chronologie pro oblast jihozápadní Ukrajiny
 Formánek, Šimon
Due to the high number of preserved wooden churches and bell towers in the southwest of Ukraine, it is possible to study their architecture and history. By the use of dendrochronological dating, we can determine with annual accuracy their construction or reconstruction year, which can be compared with the information available in historical literary sources. The aim of this thesis was to use dendrochronological analysis to determine the age of individual sacral buildings and to create a local standard oak chronology. Dendrochronological dating took place on a total of 11 churches and bell towers in the region of southwestern Ukraine. 167 samples were collected for analysis using Pressler borer. 41 oak and 5 fir samples were successfully dated. Oak wood had the highest representation among individual samples – 144. The wood of fir, spruce, poplar, ash and birch was present to a lesser extent. The oldest wooden element that has been reliably dated is from the Church of St. Nicholas in Serednia Vodiane, dating from 1591–1599. On the other hand, the youngest dated structural elements dating back to 1973/1974 are from the Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Uzhgorod. Other wooden churches and bell towers date back to the period between the 16th and the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. Based on the successfully dated tree-ring series it was possible to create a local oak standard chronology covering the years 1366–1805 and 1890–1972. Dendrochronological dating helped to clarify the structural and historical development of wooden sacral buildings in the southwest of Ukraine and to provide information that is often missing in literary historical sources. The newly developed standard oak chronology will be able to serve as one of the cornerstones of a new oak standard chronology for the region of southwestern Ukraine.
