Wood that has been burned or charred, or possibly a type of tree species, or timber from a burn area.
Compound of burn + wood, either referring to wood material that has been burned or a specific plant species with 'burn' in its name.
Charred wood has unexpected value—archaeologists love it because burning often preserves wood better than normal decay would, giving us ancient artifacts that wouldn't normally survive.
