POLLEN AND PHOTOLITH ANALYSIS AT AGAT, GUAM

Summary

Four soil samples were collected from the walls of two backhoe trenches at

Agat. Backhoe Trench 1 was placed through an old agricultural terrace located

at the edge of the rice growing lowlands. Backhoe Trench 2 transected an area

that had been used for rice cultivation prior to and during World War II. Pollen

and phytolith analysis was directed at recovery of evidence of prehistoric

agriculture.
