Résumé : International audience
Radiocarbon dating and "old wood problem" in the Antilles : the state of the artAmong the many effects that may distort the interpretation of radiocarbon dates are those for which the age of the archaeological event is different from the radiocarbon age of the sample or "14C event" age. This type of problem arises in many cases, notably in the "old wood effect”, and occurs in various regions of the world where very long-lived trees species are common. In the Caribbean anthracological studies indicate a very high frequency of some indigenous centuries-old species such as Guaiacum, Guaiacum officinale L. However the absence of tree-ring data in humid tropical zones deprives us of an accurate inventory of long-lived species and especially the assessment of their longevity. Here we present measurements which enable us to estimate the longevity of archaeological Guaiacum wood posts. They highlight a gap of several centuries between wood from the outer edge and the heart of the tree. This example illustrates the additional uncertainty that can result from dating archeological events when dates are realized on unidentified botanical species from which the area that was sampled is unknown. Another source of error could arise from the use of rot-proof dead wood as fuel if we take into consideration that major hurricanes can produce large amounts of dead wood that may be collected for decades, even centuries. To improve chronometric data used in archaeological interpretations, it is necessary to ensure the quality of the dating process by following a protocol similar to those used in other regions of the world based on a better understanding of the material to be dated by preliminary identifications of wood samples: species, anatomical part, wood moisture content (unseasoned or seasoned).
Radiocarbono y "problema madera vieja", que data de las Antillas: estado del arteEntre los muchos efectos que pueden distorsionar la interpretación de fechas de radiocarbono, destacan aquellos para los que la edad de la prueba arqueológica es diferente de la edad de radiocarbono de la muestra, o la edad del "evento de radiocarbono." Este tipo de problema se presenta en muchos casos, especialmente uno llamado "efecto madera vieja." Esto se refleja en diversas regiones del mundo donde las especies de plantas de mucha longevidad son comunes. En el Caribe, los estudios antracológicos disponibles indican una muy alta frecuencia de algunas especies autóctonas como el guayaco, Guaiacum officinale L. Sin embargo, la casi ausencia de datos de anillos de árboles en los trópicos húmedos, nos impide realizar un inventario exacto de especies de mucha longevidad y sobre todo la evaluación de la longevidad. Algunas de las pruebas presentadas aquí permitieron una estimación de la longevidad de de unos postes de guayaco de origen arqueológico. Ponen de manifiesto una brecha de varios siglos entre las partes externas y el corazón del tronco. Este ejemplo ilustra la aparición de una incertidumbre adicional en la datación de los eventos arqueológicos cuando no conocemos la especie botánica y tampoco la zona de la muestra en el árbol. Otra fuente de error puede surgir de la utilización de la madera muerta de calidad duradera como combustible ya que los grandes huracanes pueden producir grandes cantidades de madera muerta, que puede ser requerida durante décadas, incluso siglos. Para mejorar los datos cronométricos utilizados en interpretaciones arqueológicas, es necesario asegurarse de la calidad de las fechas, y por lo tanto seguir un protocolo similar a los utilizados en otras regiones fundado en una mejor comprensión de los elementos: especie, parte anatómica, humedad de la madera usada (verde o seco).
Parmi les nombreux effets susceptibles de fausser l’interprétation des datations par le radiocarbone, figurent ceux pour lesquels l’âge de l’événement archéologique est différent de l’âge radiocarbone de l’échantillon, ou âge de l’« événement radiocarbone ». Ce type de problème se pose dans de nombreux cas, en particulier celui dénommé « effet vieux bois ». Cette question est prise en compte dans diverses régions du monde où des espèces végétales très longévives sont fréquentes. Dans les Antilles les études anthracologiques disponibles indiquent une fréquence très importante de certaines espèces autochtones multiséculaires dont le gaïac, Guaiacum officinale L.. Cependant, la quasi absence de données dendrochronologiques dans la zone tropicale humide, nous privent d’un inventaire précis des espèces longévives et surtout de l’évaluation de leur longévité. Quelques tests présentés ici ont permis une estimation de la longévité de poteaux d’origine archéologique en bois de gaïac. Ils mettent en évidence un décalage de plusieurs siècles entre les parties externes et le cœur du tronc. Cet exemple illustre l’apparition d’une incertitude supplémentaire dans la datation de l’événement archéologique lorsque que l’on ne connaît ni l’espèce botanique ni la zone de prélèvement dans l’arbre. Une autre source d’erreur pourrait provenir de l’utilisation de bois mort de qualité très durable comme combustible, sachant que les grands cyclones peuvent produire d’importantes quantités de bois mort susceptible d’être récolté pendant des décennies, voire des siècles. Afin d’améliorer les données chronologiques utilisées dans les interprétations archéologiques, il apparaît nécessaire de s’assurer de la qualité des datations, et donc de suivre un protocole similaire à ceux utilisés dans d’autres régions basé sur une meilleure connaissance des éléments datés : espèce, partie anatomique, humidité du bois utilisé (vert ou sec).

Résumé : International audience
The study of decay resistance in wood is of interest for wood end-users but also for the global carbon balance since wood biodegradation is a key driver of forest ecosystem functioning through its impacts on carbon and nutrient cycling. We studied the density and wood extractive contents in order to understand decay resistance against soil microflora after 90 days exposure of sapwood and heartwood from three Neotropical wood species known for their decay resistance: Bocoa prouacensis, Vouacapoua americana, Inga alba. Decay resistance was correlated with density more than wood extractive content. The results highlighted different decay resistance strategies. In B. prouacensis, both sapwood and heartwood were highly resistant due to the high density and high content of antifungal wood extractives. In V. americana heartwood, decay resistance was due to the high synergistic-acting wood extractive content. Conversely, with the least dense wood species I. alba, we found that decay resistance was due to the antifungal wood extractives synthesized early in the sapwood. In conclusion, we showed that the three wood species with the same level of heartwood decay resistance performance had different decay resistance strategies according to the anatomic and defensive wood traits.
