  • Description: <jats:p>Since our publication of the high-precision calibration curve for the larger part of the 4th millennium BC (de Jong, Becker &amp; Mook, 1986), we found that the dendrochronologic scale (cal bc) needs a correction of 26 years. Instead of using the zero-point of the Niederwill chronology (4039 bc) which was floating at the time, our dendrochronologic scale was erroneously based on the zero-point of the Hohenheim master chronology, which, in its 1986 stage, extended to 4065 bc.</jats:p>
