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

Congratulations to Julian Jansen van Rensburg on his National Geographic feature! Julian introduces us to the island of Soqotra, "the Galápagos of the Indian Ocean," and his community-centric work on the Soqotra Ancient DNA project in collaboration with the David Reich Lab and Harvard Medical School to understand the origins of Soqotra's inhabitants. Take a look below. #nationalgeographic #natgeo #Soqotra #archaeology #aDNA #ancientDNA

Congratulations to Drs. Dan Plekhov and Angela Huster, who co-authored separate papers newly published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences and the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, respectively! These two papers delve into fascinating questions on the sustainability of terraced agriculture and the theory of spatial equilibrium as applied to the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Learn more about their publications below and how we support our staff pursuing independent research: https://lnkd.in/gGTmExfM #peerreviewed #academia #archaeology #teotihuacan

It might just look like muck, but within Oregon’s infamous blue clay-filled soil lies a host of unique archaeological finds thanks to its anaerobic nature that preserves materials long beyond their typical lifespan. Here, Senior Archaeologist Elliot Helmer is uncovering buried fish weirs as part of a habitat restoration project. Thank you to all of our archaeologists for persevering through challenging conditions in the field! #fishingweir #fishweir #archaeology #culturalresources #culturalresourcemanagement

It's well-known that the Arizona region is rich with archaeological finds. Here, Staff Archaeologist Jason Beller shows a sherd of Flagstaff Black-on-White ceramic, a type of Tusayan White Ware, estimated to date to A.D. 1140-1225. Thank you Jason, Scott Yost, and our friends at the Northern Arizona University for contributing their ceramics knowledge! #sherd #potterysherd #archaeology #blackonwhiteceramic #whiteware #culturalresources

Have you ever seen a stake from a fishing weir up close? This was uncovered during construction monitoring from within Oregon’s anaerobic clay-filled soil, which preserves materials that otherwise would have deteriorated long ago. #fishingweir #fishweir #archaeology #culturalresources #culturalresourcemanagement

Information on how people lived long ago is often buried in layers of nondescript dirt, only to be discovered during construction monitoring. During monitoring for a habitat restoration project in the Pacific Northwest reexcavating a relict tidal channel, our Oregon field crew captured this moment when Senior Archaeologist Elliot Helmer identified a piece of preserved wood for collection and analysis. #fishingweir #fishweir #archaeology #culturalresources #culturalresourcemanagement
