Hebda RJ and Mathewes RW. 1984. Holocene History of Cedar and Native Indian Cultures of the North American Pacific Coast. Science. 225(4663):711-713
From the Abstract: "A comparison of paleobotanical records with archeological and ethnographic evidence from the Pacific Northwest shows a strong correlation between the expansion of Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) in coastal forests between 5000 and 2500 years ago and the evolution of a massive woodworking technology by native cultures." Pertains to coastal regions of Olympic National Park, WA.
