Megan,
 Wood samples as would be found in a shipwreck can be fairly easily 
identified by anyone with a botanical background and a microscope to at 
least the generic level. If your project requires a specific or sub-specific 
identification, or needs the "weight" of a professional identification, Dr. 
Linda Scott Cummings at Paleoresearch in Colorado is an excellent choice for 
all things botanical. I think the website is
