Building Archaeology Research Database (BARD) aims to help further the development of age estimation of timber-framed and buildings and provides an easy-to-use method for recording the key features in buildings.

An on-line searchable database of the tree-ring dates published in Vernacular Architecture is now available via the Archaeological Data Services. Go to: Index of Tree-ring Dates (Enter their Catalogue, click on Special Collections and then on Dating, then select Vernacular Architecture Group Dendrochronology Database from the right-hand panel).
