POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT REDLEG KIPUKA, MILITARY POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA, HAWAII ISLAND, SITE 50-10-31-5003

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1998

Summary

Ten pollen and ten phytolith samples were examined from site 50-10-31-5003. Pollen

samples were collected stratigraphically from layers in a lava tube to examine the prehistoric

vegetation record. Phytolith samples were collected from individual pits created by breaking the

tops of large bubbles in the lava and creating pits. It is possible that sweet potato was grown in the

pits and that they were mulched.
