Popis: La Draga (Banyoles, Spain), is one of the most relevant Early Neolithic site in southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, among other reasons, for its excellent preservation of organic archaeological materials in waterlogged conditions. The site corresponds to a lake dwelling of the early farmers in the region. The goal of this paper is to present the current results of the dendrochronological analysis of the piles and horizontal woods and the C14 dates. In order to understand the relation of the wooden piles with the occupation phases documented a Bayesian model has been built including the stratigraphy, dendrochronological and C14 data, moreover, a wiggle matching of the dendrochronology and C14 dates of the piles has also been developed. The dendrochronological results show three phases of tree felling, a single main construction event and establish a minimum duration of the wooden constructions at la Draga of 27 years. Radiocarbon dating combined with dendrochronology confirms these results and dates the construction event around 5310 cal BC.
