Oahu, Hawaii (Geographic Keyword)
1-6 (6 Records)
Pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from sediments along Waimanalo Stream on Bellows Airforce Base as part of a flood control project. Pollen analysis of these sediments was undertaken to identify elements of the native Hawaiian prehistoric vegetation.
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT LELEPAUA FISHPOND, HICKAM AIRFORCE BASE, PEARL HARBOR ESTUARY, OAHU, HAWAI'I (1998)
Four sediment samples recovered from depths ranging from 170 to 377 cm below the surface at Lelepaua Fishpond (site 50-80-13-82) were examined for pollen and foraminifera. This site is located near the entrance to Pearl Harbor Estuary, Oahu. Pollen samples were examined to identify vegetation surrounding the fishpond at the time of its use and confirm that these sediments represent fishpond sediments.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A SINKHOLE AT BARBER'S POINT, OAHU, HAWAII (1988)
Eight pollen samples were collected from a sinkhole 2 m in diameter and 2 m deep at site #50-Oa-B6-2BO. At the time of occupation, during historic times, this area of the Ewa Plain was used as a seasonal fishing/habitation area. Small vegetable gardens were planted where possible on the bedrock or in shallow sinkholes. The pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from the sinkhole in an effort to obtain information concerning the vegetation in this area, and identify any evidence...
POLLEN AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS IN MAKUA VALLEY, OAHU (1995)
Makua Valley is situated on the west side of the island of Oahu. This dry area is located in the leeward rain shadow of the Waianae Mountains. Modern vegetation includes primarily grass, which is maintained by annual burning. The surrounding slopes and ridges of the valley are forested with a variety of trees typical of leeward Hawai' i, including Kaa haole (Leucaena), Kiawe (Prosopis), and Kukul (Aleurites). Pollen and charcoal samples were examined from this column to provide a baseline...
POLLEN SAMPLES FROM EXCAVATIONS AT THE WARD VILLAGE SHOPS PIER 1 PARKING LOT, HONOLULU AHUPUA’A, KONA DISTRICT, O’AHU ISLAND (2013)
Two soil samples collected from excavations at the Ward Village Shops Pier 1 Parking Lot were submitted for pollen analysis. An organic-rich “peaty” clay stratum that was identified beneath layers of imported fill was examined because it might represent an agricultural deposit or a natural low-lying marsh deposit. Pollen analysis was conducted to identify whether or not evidence for agriculture was present.
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SYMPHONY PARK, HONOLULU (1995)
The Symphony Park area is located in a relatively low-lying area at the corner of Ward Avenue and Kapi'olani Boulevard, near downtown Honolulu and Kewalo Basin. Wetland deposits were noted below modern fill. These wetland deposits were cored for later sampling in the laboratory. Eighteen samples from the core were examined for pollen to provide information about both the local and generalized paleoenvironmental patters on this side of Oahu. Radiocarbon dates provide a basal age for this...
