Dear Hist-Arch'ers,
This query is on behalf of a student in our Modern Thought and Literature
program, who is studying historic graffiti in Los Angeles, including
graffiti carved into trees. He is interested in whether dendrochronology
might be able to aid in dating the graffiti, some of which appears to be
late 19th - mid 20th century. The incisions are primarily on eucalyptus
trees. Does anyone know a LA-area dendrochronologist who might be able to
assess whether this would be possible? 
Many thanks
--Barb Voss
