^aTotal weight of corrugated jar sherds divided by 6,654 g (accumulation rate developed by Varien [1999*1:87]).
^b Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research date symbols:
B = bark is present.
r = less than a full section is present, but the outermost ring is continuous around the available circumference.
v = a subjective judgment that, although there is no direct evidence of the true outside on the sample, the date is within a very few years of being a cutting date.
vv = there is no way of estimating how far the last ring is from the true outside; many rings may be lost.
