POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A LARGE SINKHOLE, KAGMAN PENINSULA, SAIPAN

Summary

Ten pollen samples and one sample containing small, black items that appeared in the

field to be charred, were submitted to Paleo Research for Analysis. Pollen samples were

recovered from strata in a large, natural sinkhole on the Kagman Peninsula on the east side of

Saipan. Questions asked of the pollen record include: 1) determine the preservation of pollen,

2) characterize the "early vegetation", 3) identify any significant changes in vegetation

composition through time, and 4) note and identify any other information from the record.
