This sediment sample was loaned to Alecia Spooner from 6/22/2007 to 9/18/2008 for paleobotanical analysis. The sample was halved using a Jones Splitter. One half was returned to the museum unanalyzed. The other half was to be floated by Spooner to collect pollen, charcoal and other macrobotanicals for analysis, however she did not proceed with the floating process on this sample. The recovery of small seeds in the sample was quantified by adding charred modern poppy seeds before flotation. The goal of this analysis was to further understand prehistoric human use of plant resources in the San Juan Islands, however no sorting of the floated materials took place because Spooner decided not to complete her analysis. 9/10/2009 KWL
