Archaeological Charcoal Analysis in New Zealand
Journal of Pacific Archaeology, 2017Charcoal is well preserved and abundant in many New Zealand archaeological sites. When identified to species it provides a means of reconstructing past vegetation communities adjacent to occupation sites. However, the way charcoal deposits accumulated needs to be considered before species identifications are converted into vegetation reconstructions ...

Analysis of the Charcoal Market Chain in Northwest Ethiopia
Small-scale Forestry, 2021Understanding the market chain of charcoal in Ethiopia and other countries in sub-Saharan-Africa, and implementing evidence-based recommendations can improve the livelihoods of all stakeholders in the value chain. This study was initiated to identify the marketing channels of charcoal and the major factors influencing its market supply in Fagita Lekoma

Improving the efficiency of sediment charcoal image analysis
The Holocene, 2021Imaging of charcoal particles extracted from lake sediments provides an important way to understand past fire regimes. Imaging of large numbers of particles can be time consuming. In this note we explore the effects of subsampling and extrapolation of area on estimates of sum charcoal area, using resampling of real and simulated data sets and propose a

Chemical analysis and potential health risks of hookah charcoal
Science of The Total Environment, 2016Hookah (waterpipe) smoking is a very common practice that has spread globally. There is growing evidence on the hazardous consequences of smoking hookah, with studies indicating that its harmful effects are comparable to cigarette smoking if not worse. Charcoal is commonly used as a heating source for hookah smoke.

Wood Charcoal Analysis in Archaeology
2018This chapter examines historical and recent methodological developments in the field of wood charcoal analysis (anthracology). A key aim is to outline various approaches to research questions relating to the reconstruction of past vegetation cover, fuel wood use practices and palaeoecology.

Charcoal recognition, taphonomy and uses in palaeoenvironmental analysis
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2010Abstract Charcoal, predominantly the product of wildfires, is abundant in many sedimentary rocks deposited in a wide range of environments, from terrestrial to marine. It also occurs in some volcanic rocks. This paper outlines aspects of charcoal formation (both natural and experimental) and briefly considers the taphonomic processes leading to a ...

Charcoal Analysis for Paleoenvironmental Interpretation: A Chemical Assay
Quaternary Research, 1985A nitric acid digestion and ignition technique developed to measure relative frequencies of charcoal in lake and bog sediments measures the weight of charcoal relative to the dry weight of the sample (percentage charcoal) and gives results comparable to counting of microscopic charcoal.

A comparative analysis of emissions from bagasse charcoal and wood charcoal
2005Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere and is in need of cheap cooking fuel source. Currently, lump charcoal, the cooking fuel of Haiti, is made by carbonizing trees in ditches before selling the charcoal at market. However, Haiti is now 98% deforested and must find a way to prepare their food that does not destroy their land.
