Four charcoal samples from the Trinity River Basin of northern California were submitted for identification. These samples were examined as part of the northern Coast Ranges of California Holocene terrace chronology. The samples were recovered from a soil pit on a high terrace above Grass Valley Creek. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Charcoal fragments from two of the samples were processed for AMS...

This unpublished report documents an archaeological charcoal species identification analysis of samples from a series of sites in the remote Kuril Islands. The study was commissioned to estimate the proportion of driftwood to local wood fuel used in prehistoric fires and to estimate the potential impact of old wood on radiocarbon dates calculated from Kuril archaeological charcoal.

PROJECT Ben Fitzhugh.

A broadly interdisciplinary, international team investigated the complex web of cultural, ecological, geological, and climate systems in the Kuril Islands. The Kurils provide uniquely laboratory-like conditions for this study, permitting examination of past changes in local climates and ecosystems along an island chain. The islands are situated along a latitudinal gradient extending from temperate Hokkaido Island (north of Japan) to subarctic Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia. Evidence of human...
