Condon Shows* Wood Science By BOB EDWARDS A new exhibit on dendrochronology, the science of dating wood fragments by their annual rings, was placed in the mu seum of natural history in Condon Hall Tuesday. The display was set up by Bill Thompson, junior in anthropology, under the direction of Dr. Luther S. Cressman, head of the anthro poiogy department. The exhibit was made to show the methods by which relatively exact dates of archeological ruins in which wood has been found. Dr. Douglas Dr. A. E. Douglas of the Uni versity of Arizona first worked on the science of tree rings around the turn of the century. Dr. Douglas studied them in con nection with study of sun spot cyles and effects of sun spots on climate variations. It was subsequently discovered that the methods could be used to date archeological ruins which used trees for roof beams. In the late twenties the science of den drochronology was applied to ar cheology and has been developed to a high degree in the inter vening years.

This speci men is the first application of the science to archeological rel ics found in Oregon.
