Radiocarbon calibration data derived from German oak chronologies, ranging back to 7200 BC, have been published in the previous Calibration Issue (Stuiver & Kra 1986). In recent years, the German oak chronology has been extended to 7938 BC (Becker, this issue). For earlier intervals, tree-ring chronologies must be based on pine, because oak re-emigrated to central Europe at the Preboreal/Boreal transition, at about 8000 BC. We have established a 1784-yr pine chronology centered in the Preboreal, and have linked it tentatively to the absolutely dated oak master. We present here calibration data based on this link, for the age range, 7145–9439 BC.
