Dendrochronology, the study of tree ring growth, can reveal far more than just the age of a tree. It can also help researchers plot out events, environmental change, and better understand the lives of people who lived in an area. Join us for a live Q&A with Professor of Environmental Sciences at Rider University, Daniel Druckenbrod, who has researched Monticello forests for twenty years in cooperation with Monticello Archaeology. Prof. Druckenbrod will discuss his recently published work on the location of Jefferson’s “timber zone” and what forest regrowth on former plantation fields can teach us about past agricultural activity and the enslaved laborers who worked the land.
