The Ward Block F Project is located in the Kaka’ako neighborhood of the city of Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawai’i, along the coast between Downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. Excavation of Site CSH 2 uncovered berms and pans related to historic period (post-1778) salt production below 20th century fill deposits. Eleven sediment samples were collected from Site CSH 2 for pollen analysis to determine the extent of historic human modification of the coastal landscape into salt production complexes.

A test trench was excavated within the asphalt paved parking area at 2139 Kuhio Ave., Waikiki. Soil samples were collected from the exposed stratigraphic face, three of which were submitted for pollen analysis. Results are used to describe the environment for the periods represented by these sediments.

Five samples from trenches along Ala Moana Boulevard in Waikiki, Hawaii, were examined for both pollen and macrofloral remains. These samples were collected from fishponds that were filled in during the Waikiki Land Reclamation between 1921-1929. Pollen and macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information concerning vegetation near the fishponds.

Loko Kaipuni (SIHP # 50-80-14-4573), a Hawaiian fishpond located in Waikīkī, O’ahu, Hawai’i, was used during both the pre-Contact and historic periods. In 1919 and 1928 it was filled with coral dredge from the Ala Wai Canal. A sediment sample collected from the center of the monitor trench excavation was submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis to establish baseline environmental information for the vicinity of the fishpond and to answer questions of how the fishpond was used.

Three samples were collected from site CSH 2, a “pre-Contact to early 20th century wetland agricultural complex located within the ‘Ewa parcels of the Kuhio Collection at Waikīkī project area” (Raff-Tierney, personal communication, December 4, 2017). Samples were collected from three strata in Trench 7 near Walina St. The subsurface agricultural deposit comprises buried and abandoned lo’i deposits and basalt and coral cobble features. Natural vegetation is assumed to have been typical of coastal...
