EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL, IDENTIFICATION OF WOOD AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL FROM FINLEY CREEK, WASHINGTON

One bulk soil sample and one wood sample from the Finley Creek Geomorphic Assessment project were submitted for analyses to determine suitability for AMS radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered from stream deposits along Finley Creek, Washington in the Quinault River Basin on the western side of the Olympic Peninsula. Botanic components, charcoal, and wood were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of two radiocarbon dates were obtained from charcoal and wood remains recovered from the samples.
