Data in this article are related to the chemical characterization ofvarious oak wood samples. Data have been obtained by theapplication of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy andpyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS) toliving tree species and shipwreck wood fragments. Measurementswere performed on individual rings in order to facilitate theunderstanding of the variability in wood chemical compositionalong the radial cores, i.e. the same kind of material traditionallyused for dendrochronological analysis. The data in this article islabelled according to the anatomical sections of the wood (sap-wood, transition wood and heartwood) where the samples weretaken. The experimental background and the results can be foundin the related research article,“Chemometric tools for identifica-tion of wood from different oak species and their potential forprovenancing of Iberian shipwrecks (16th–18th centuries CE)”(Traoré et al., 2018)
