Introduction. In recent decades, the method of dendrochronological dating has become one of the key ones in determining the age of architectural structures of the Middle Ages and Modern times. However, sometimes we have to face precedents when the results of dendrochronological and historical-archaeological dating do not agree with each other. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the results of dendrochronological dating of architectural remains of archaeological monuments Bergamaksky ostrog (Bergamak-I, Bergamakskaya Sloboda), the village of Ananyino (Ananyino-I) and the city of Tara (manor on the territory of the fortress and town place), located in the Omsk Irtysh region.

Materials and methods. The materials of archaeological excavations, information from written sources and data from dendrochronological dating in a comparative aspect serve as a source for substantiating the historical and archaeological dating of individual objects.

Results and discussion. In the course of historical and archaeological dating it was found out that the listed monuments were dated by researchers for about one century. This conclusion is based primarily on the analysis of numismatic collections obtained during excavations and surveys of the studied objects. An important place in the argumentation system is also occupied by planographic and stratigraphic observations. It is established that the information of dendrochronological dating do not confirm the dating by historical and archaeological methods.

Conclusion. The article presents hypotheses about the need to date the village of Ananyino to the middle and second half of the XVIII century and about the transfer of the village of Ananyino to a new place in the early XVIII and early XIX centuries. The problem of matching the results of dendrochronological and historical-archaeological dating is formulated.
