A guide to the identification of the trees and larger shrub spieces of Northern Europe based on anatomical characters, this book is divided into three sections: anatomy and methods of sampling and identification; atlas of the 52 identifiable taxa, covering over 130 species, divided into eight anatomical groups; and summary tables of the major diagnostic characters used in the identification of the taxa contained in this book. It provides a workable methodology by which archaeologists/conservators can identify wood.
