a Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research date symbols:
B = bark is present.
vv = there is no way of estimating how far the last ring is from the true
outside; many rings may be lost.
+ = one or a few rings may be missing near the outside whose presence or
absence cannot be determined because the series does not extend far enough
to provide adequate cross dating.
b White ware sherds assigned to specific formal type (i.e., Mancos,
McElmo, and Mesa Verde black-on-white). Sherds assigned to less-specific
grouped types (e.g., Pueblo III White Painted) are excluded.
