Dendrochronologists, involved with the dating of wooden objects, are unavoidably confronted with the everlasting question of which samples come from one and the same tree. Answers can for example help decide whether complex structures within a settlement were built at the same time. In this paper a computational method is presented that may help to answer this question. As an example, an archaeological house structure from the Viking town Hedeby is analyzed.
