Two samples were collected from a possible berm or edge of a berm between fishponds located on a previous floodplain at Fort DeRussy. Cultivation of wetland taro is a possibility prior to construction of the fishponds. Pollen analysis was undertaken to search for evidence that taro was grown in this area.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE WET LAND LO’I TARO AGRICULTURE SEDIMENTS NEAR SITE 50-30-02–458, KAUAI, HAWAI’I (2010)
Project HAENA 5, located in coastal Hā’ena on the north shore of Kauai, discovered possible wet land lo’i taro agriculture sediments. Therefore, pollen analysis was undertaken on the sediments from both this area at site 50-30-02-458 and also from a nearby area that might include agricultural sediments from site 50-30-04-458.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE HONOLULU HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT CORRIDOR PROJECT, O’AHU ISLAND, HAWAI’I (2011)
Sediment samples collected during a Phase II mitigation of the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project on O’ahu Island, Hawai’i were examined for pollen. The samples were collected from buried deposits thought to represent traditional Hawaiian wetland taro agriculture (lo’i) (Matt McDermott, personal communication, March 2, 2011). Pollen analysis was used to search for evidence of taro agriculture.
