What you're looking at is non-carbonized Western Red Cedar (aka Thuja plicata) wood. This sample comes from a fishing weir feature found in the Pacific Northwest and estimated to date to A.D. 1020-1220. Western Red Cedar was the most common type of wood identified during this project, which aims to promote a better habitat for fish by reconstructing the tidal channels that once existed in the area. Many thanks to Staff Archaeologist Shambri Murphy for sharing this image with us and Senior Archaeologist Elliot Helmer for providing additional context! #fishingweir #fishweir #archaeology #culturalresources #culturalresourcemanagement
