Quinault River (Geographic Keyword)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

A single sediment sample from along the Quinault River in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, was floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. This sample was recovered from a natural exposure along the river and is believed to represent silt that was likely deposited in Lake Quinault when it was higher than at present. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
