Wood samples from Cupressus arizonica, Cupressus lusitanica, and Cupressus sempervirens were evaluated in terms of chemical, anatomical and pulp features in order to consider as raw-material for pulp production. Two 17-year-old trees per species were harvested and wood samples taken at two stem height levels (ground level and 2 m from the ground). Extractives and Klason lignin content were determined in the different wood samples. Wall thickness and tracheid diameter were determined for earlywood

The Usefulness of Dendrochronology to Archaeology Dendrochronology is a technique that has been in use for most of the twentieth century. Essentially the process revolves around tree rings. In a moderate environment, trees grow by one ring each year and thus, to an extent, by examining these ring sequences, it is possible to understand the conditions in which the tree grew, year by year. The resultant pattern is then comparable with patterns from other trees found in similar areas, growing
important and valuable timber species in the world due to its superior wood characteristics, durability, and ability to grow at high densities within inundated habitats. Bald cypress technically is not a true cypress such as those within the genus Cupressus. It is within the genus Taxodium, and family Cupressaceae (Bragg 2011). Bald Cypress is the state tree of the state of Louisiana, where the majority of the United States’ permanent swamps are located. Bald cypress is also commonly called gulf cypress
