A modification of statistical method to determine the relative age of wood samples based on the analysis of dendroseries has been developed. The main difference of the method proposed here from the one used earlier lies in the fact that there is the possibility to match several samples simultaneously. Using the methods of statistical analysis, we have the possibility to ascertain what is reliability of determination of the relative age. Approaches used in our method are typical for regression analysis. The correlation coefficient between the analyzed sample and the group of matching samples (the comparison groups) serve as a measure concordance. It is so-called multiple correlation coefficient. The Fisher F-statistics is used to determine the significance of matching. The method is applied for cross-dating of wood samples of archaeological monuments in the Southern Siberia.
