摘要
This paper presents results of dendrochronological analysis of spruce wood from the Wieliczka Salt Mine, one of the oldest mines in Poland. The wood came from the first level of the mine, from casings of drifts, chambers, mineshafts, short shafts, galleries and chapels. The oldest wood, representing spruce trees cut down in the 15th century, appears in the Walczyn, August and Duszaca chambers, Balkle chamber and Powroznik gallery, as well as the cast between the Kaczorowski and Sroki chambers. Younger wood, from the 16th and 17th century, was recognized in the Krupinski, Duszaca, Reyna and Weszki chambers, the Leszno and Karol galleries, the Sulow short shaft, and the Lizak chapel. The 18th-19th century wood appears in the August, Walczyn, Duszaca, Rex and Kloski chambers, the Klemens gallery, the Pizmowa chapel, and the Walczyn short shaft. In two excavations of the August and Weszki chambers, fragments of 20th century wood were recognized. Wood from old mines is a valuable source of information on history of the mining excavations or tools used in the mines. It also allows extending the scope of research of the mining archaeology.
