Controlled excavations within Keauhou 2nd Ahupua’a, Hawai’i exposed stone architectural components of prehistoric agricultural, habitation, and/or work areas. Soil samples were collected at the base of the excavations (atop the underlying basalt bedrock and beneath the architectural features). Pollen and starch analysis of the soils samples was undertaken to determine floral elements on the landscape and to identify any cultigens present.
