The Controlled Carbonization and Archaeological Analysis of SE U.S. Wood Charcoals
Jack Rossen,James Olson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic controlled carbonization of 21 common SE U.S. tree species to understand the structural characteristics of wood and its potential for charcoal identification. But no methodologies or general principles have emerged that recognize the subtle complexities of wood-charcoal identification.

The Ecological Interpretation of Ancient Charcoals from Jericho
TL;DR: The interpretation of ancient charcoals from Jericho has been studied in this article, where the authors present an interpretation of the archeology of the Charcoals of the ancient city of Jericho.
La paleovegetación en el norte de Grecia desde el Tardiglaciar hasta el Atlántico : formaciones vegetales, recursos y usos
TL;DR: In this paper, the evidence for the reconstruction of the palaeovegetation of northern Greece in the Late Glacial and Holocene periods is discussed based on the author's dissertation.

The use of wood in funerary pyres: random gathering or special selection of species? Case study of three necropolises from Poland
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of charcoal remains from three prehistoric necropolises is presented, which may indicate a special selection of wood used for cremation ceremonies and may be a source of palaeo-ethnographic information about past rituals.
