charcoal

A team of researchers from the UK and Australia analysed charcoal and pollen contained in ancient mud to determine how Aboriginal Tasmanians shaped their surroundings.

But in the sediment core, the amount of charcoal debris—an indicator of fire burning nearby plants—more than doubled earlier than that time, starting about 41,600 years ago.

In a forest close to Roriak, a group of men and women chop down trees to make charcoal.

An artist said it was "the most surreal moment" of his life to be invited to hand deliver two charcoal drawings of Tom Cruise to the Top Gun actor.

“Me and my husband went all over the city, but we couldn’t find charcoal anywhere,” she explains.
