The purpose of this list is to promote engagement and discussion between specialists working on archaeological wood and charcoal. It provides a forum for the dissemination of notices on conferences, meetings and publications as well as discussion on relevant issues such as anatomical identification, methodology, preservation, wood-working technology and environmental reconstruction. The list aims to foster communication between all environmental archaeologists from universities, contracting units and freelance specialists, who are engaged in the analysis of waterlogged, desiccated or charred wood from archaeological sites.
