Find spots diagram for pieces of the PG amphora (green) and the 4 timbers used for dendrochronology and the DWM (red). Figure S9. In the Kastanas plot preferred by Weninger and Jung, the determinations are given their expected historical ages – resulting in a systematic offset from the calibration curve of around 100 years. Figure S10. In the Kastanas plot rejected by Weninger and Jung, the dates fit with reasonable conformity to the calibration curve. Figure S11.
