In this thesis, the following three objects from the Lower Carniola have been dated by dendrochronology: the Škarjat’s hayrack from Mirna, the church of Saint Vid from Šentvid near Stična, and the Kosmo’s wine cottage from Mali Cirnik. All of them are made of oak wood (Quercus sp.) and compared to Lower Carniola’s chronology of the Slovenian Forestry Institute. The dating was done with the help of the statistical analyses – the correlation analyses, t values by Baillie-Pilcher and Gleichläufigkeit, and the visual comparison of curves with reference to chronologies. It was impossible to date the church of Saint Vid with the standard comparison methods. Because it is so old, the C14 analyses were made instead. Hayrack from Mirna was dated after the year 1626, wine cottage after 1616 and the church somewhere after 1483. The analysed church’s samples were parts of its renovation not the original construction, because the church's Romanesque base was renovated in the Gothic style after 1483.
