DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

As part of the excavation of the project area in Kahaluu Ahupua'a, sediment cores were extracted from open air water wells of unknown age. Three segments were sampled at various depths (between 17 and 35 cm) from two different cores and submitted for pollen and starch analysis. The sediment in the samples is composed of organic-rich loam with large seed pods and some detritus material visible (Trevor Yucha, personal communication, March 3, 2014).
