EXAMINATION OF BULK SEDIMENT FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM ALONG THE QUINALT RIVER IN THE WESTERN OLYMPIC PENINSULA, WASHINGTON
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2002
Summary
A total of 15 bulk sediment samples from the Quinault River drainage basin in the western
Olympic Peninsula, Washington, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon
analysis. Samples were recovered from floodplain deposits on terraces inset into a glacial moraine
that dams Lake Quinault, as well as from sand and silt beds within alluvial fan deposits from Finley
Creek, a major tributary in this section of the Quinault River. Botanic components and detrital
charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
