Olympic Peninsula, Washington (Geographic Keyword)
1-2 (2 Records)
Bulk soil and detrital charcoal samples were recovered from natural exposures or soil pits on stream terraces adjacent to the Dungeness River in the northeastern portion of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. These samples are from terraces incised into the alluvial plain between the eastern Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca at Dungeness Bay. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified in each of the samples, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
EXAMINATION OF SEDIMENT FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM ALONG THE QUINAULT RIVER, WASHINGTON (2004)
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.
