In the territory of Tara area of the Ir tysh region ( Western Siberia) a significant number of archaeological sites of the Russian time have survived. Practice showed that the use of the conventional comparative-typological method for dating these archaeological complexes did not allow determining the calendar time for their construction. This problem can be solved by the application of the dendrochronological approach which enabled us to establish the time of the construction of archaeological sites in the forest-steppe zone of Tara area of the Irtysh region: the structures of the Tara Kremlin and manor date back to the beginning of the second quarter of the 17th century; a hut from the village of Anan’ino – to the second quarter of the 17th century; fragments of the Bergamak stockaded town – to the first half of the 17th – the first half of the 18th century. The investigation findings lay a solid foundation for the subsequent calendar dating of wood from the archaeological sites and architecture monuments in Tara area of the Irtysh region.
